Hi there,
I am looking at purchasing a two year old property. There are no outside garden outlets for power, but directly behind the back wall of the house, there is a double power socket.

I would like to ideally, get a double power socket to the outside for the mower etc but would also like to run power to a shed/summer house so we can house our condensation tumble drier in there.

Does anyone have any ideas on how much this might cost me? Obviously a tumble drier would demand quite a lot of power, but there would not be much plugged into the doubles inside of the house, if an electrician were to tap off of these points.
The wire for the shed would need to run around 7-10 meters from the back of the house to the shed.

There are so many variables on a job like this. including (but not limited to):

Type of supply, route of cable, existing RCD protection or none, etc.
Where in the UK (Chelsea is a LOT more expensive than Stoke on Trent, for example)
Do you have personalised number plates on your cars

Then in the outbuilding I guess you'll need some lights, so you do not need a head torch to see the tumble dryer, then maybe a floodlight so you can see to wade through the 3 foot snowdrift to retrieve your frozen solid undies....

Allow about the same ££ as for a night away in a hotel.
