Got a shed in my new place (not moving until Easter though).
Long term I'd like to get power into the shed. Anyone have any idea how much it'd cost for a sparky to wire me up?
Its about 20-30m from the house. There is currently an outside plug on the side of the house which we'd not need once the shed is powered (so I'm guessing they could just use that connection).
Would be used primarily for lighting. Pillar drill, sander, grinder. Possibly some arc welding too but if thats too much strain I can do that by the house on a normal plug.
DIY seems a bit hairy especially as its covered by certain regs nowadays so would essentially be illegal.
Possibly only living there for a couple of years so tempted to just get a long extension and coil it in everytime I leave the shed.
If I recall well, I’d say approx £500 for labour, the armoured cable, the fuse box, plugs, lights and running all cables all depending where you live (labour cost), and how much second fix stuff you need in there.

No pics I'm afraid. That'll have to wait.
