I'm not sure what you mean exactly. Chisel from the hole downwards, on the outside of the wall, such that the cable can gradually make it's way into the wall?

Sorry. I was thinking internally.
Still confused 
Think I will drill an angled hole in the wall, and chisel out the tapered channel to take the strain off the cable as much as possible. Here was me thinking my bit was nearly done!

Well it's been raining hard all day today so after buying another length of swa and some other bits n pieces for doing the single swa length, I set to work wiring the inside of the garage. Working the next 3 days but have a couple days off next week so hopefully get it all done for the weekend!
I would like my outside light to have a motion detector at each end of the garage is this feasible?
Again thanks to all for the constructive criticism!

There's a bit of T&E sharing the same hole through the wall as a water pipe.
Not the best idea.
re
Yes, if you have the right sort of PIR unit(s). They need to have relay output.
Most of the stand-alone PIR detectors have this. Go for a decent make, like Steinel. You'll regret it if you go cheap.

Haha it might look like it in the photo but I assure you the cable and water pipe aren't coming through the same hole! The cable comes up through the floor in white conduit, and the end of the cable is just hooked behind that pipe to keep it out of the way for the time being
Surely, having installed the cable, whats done is now done? Your not going to replace the SWA with a longer peice and take inside the wall at this point?

Well I was going to.. Is the way I have done it unsafe?
