As above, £500 sounds about right. Cost me £300ish but it was done by a mate and I think he did me a good deal. I really wanted to DIY but I also needed it signed off: would have cost me more to do it and then get him round to certify the work!
I’d advise getting whoever does it to use armoured core with a few extra cores. It means you an Add additional circuits - for instance I added a security light to the building which is separate from the plugs and interior lights so I can turn it off from the house if I want to.

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