Hello, I did search for this but was worried information I found might be out of date.
Basically I have a large shed about 13m from back of house then it's another 4m inside the house to the cupboard with the consumer unit. I would like to get some electrics to the shed at some point in the near future for some lights and maybe 2 to 3 sockets for power tools a freezer and the tumble dryer.
Before this however I have some laminate floor to lay in the room between the CU and the back of the house. My thinking was is it good to plan now for the best route of the cable to the shed before laying the floor? The floor is concrete and I was wondering can I put a channel in the concrete for either a cable in metal conduit or reinforced cable to run directly to the shed then put the laminate on top?
Obviously I would need to work out how much cable and leave it coiled up each end for the electrician. First is this legal and second would the electrician want to see how it is under the floor anyway so be a waste of time?
Thanks for any help
