I am in the process of renovating my bathroom and have just taken out an electric shower and replaced it with a thermostatic mixer. I want to use the now redundant wiring for outside lighting, sockets and eventually to the shed. My bathroom is a ground floor extension.
The shower had its own dedicated RCD in the CU and uses 10 mm2 cable. As far as I can tell this is an ideal start for my plans so all I have to do is drill a hole and run the cable outside. Is it that easy?
I plan to get an electrician in to complete the outside wiring but I need to complete the interior cabling and run the cable outside before I board up and tile the bathroom. My plan is to just fix a weatherproof junction box to the outside of the house and run the cable in to it ready to be connected up by the electrician.
Is it that easy? Is there anything else I should be thinking of at this stage?
