  • You should do the training and exams. It's roughly 4-6 weeks to do BS7651 and Part P. That doesn't make you an electrician but it gets you started on what's involved. It's probably about £2k (oddly).

    ** You still won't be allowed to do your own garden electrics without getting it signed off by building control and ** you'll no longer be able to claim ignorance if anything goes wrong!

    edit ** you can carry out your own garden electrics without building control sign off **

    Unless you need to add a new circuit.

  • Outdoor electrics aren’t a special location in England any more, so as DIYable as anything else.

  • Easy to forget that! They are still a bit more complicated and a lot of people in London will need to add a circuit with an RCD but I have been living in the past.
