Mechanical protection

Hi guys,
So been asked to supply a feed for the parents WOODEN shed. As my dad is retiring, and wants to spend more time doing hobbies in his back garden.
He wants power to it for lighting, tools, and the like.
However being retired, not alot of money. He asked for the most cost efficent way.
Using a fused spur from the ring is a no go, as it was council owned, and the BRICK shed is unfused and spured from the kitchen ring about 15 years ago, with no rcd/rcbo in site apart from a single one in the board covering all cb's.

So my heart says no, but thought id get your opinions.
Could i run a 4/6mm t&e enclosed in conduit from the board via rcbo, to the shed, and power a sub board for him to take his switches and sockets from?
Cheers fellas
Adam

better to use SWA from a non-RCD MCB in the house board, then a RCD protected 2 way sub-board in the garage. i won't mention part pee.

Would it not need an rcd from the internal board at all. Just thought due to him using it for head trimming and stuff?

As tel said use a 2 way RCD protected board in the shed. Hedge trimmer protected by shed RCD.

Don't worry about it mate, it's Saturday morning
Not sure if they still have any, but TLC had a garage CU on offer. 40a RCD, 1 x 16a MCB & 1 x 6a MCB at the sub £20.00 mark.
