Power to shed. Thoughts?

[tomspark93]

Why are you planning on ditching a perfectly good Earthing system for TT? Are there any extraneous conductive parts in the shed? What is going to be powered from the shed as if the Design current isn't much then would a fused spur from the socket circuit suffice? If the design current is higher than 13A and the board is a pig to get too then you could always split the tails in the external meter cabinet and run a new sub main from there.

Looks like a newish house, is it floor boards or chipboard? Another option if the floor isn't tiled/laminate above the utility room is to take the cable up the external wall and drill through between the ground floor ceiling and first floor and take it through that way and then in to the board.

To be honest I am not 100% sure on the rules behind exporting the PME, I was under the impression it wasn't allowed? The shed will be made of wood so no extraneous parts I can think of! I've not got my Regs book to hand so I'd have to look into the rules behind that!

Again that was an option, however I don't know how feasible that will be as the closest outlet (in the conservatory) looks like its already a spur from the RFC.

you could have tied up first before you took the pic .
standards you know.

can you feed your SWA through the wall units in that utility room?

and what's that cable outside ( above the door ) for, a washing line?

Quite possible to go that route, but was trying to avoid having to cut out half of the house going horizontal through the wall.

The smaller one is for a sky multiroom, and the SWA is for an outdoor security light.

It's not my house, and I just stopped by to have a look at what there was to work with and I definitely wasn't there to help them with their spring cleaning!

Can you remove the crown molding fitted to the Kitchen cabinets and run the cable in the void?

Looked at that and the cupboards at the top are full length and go right to the ceiling, look custom made so no sneaky void hiding up top by the looks of things sadly!
