External Sockets

[Diggory]

I’d like to get a couple of external power sockets fitted to our bungalow. In both cases, I’d need to bring the supply down externally from the loft space (I’ve bought some Prysmian Armoured 2.5mm^2, clips & Glands).

I’ve since seen some references to the use of conduit when installing like this - am I okay to simply use the clipped SWA.

My existing Ring Main is on a new BG fuse board and protected with BG CUCRB32A 32A/30mA. I do have a spare slot on the board but it’s a fair run from one of the sockets; can I have the new sockets as spurs or will they need to run in SWA all the way back to board.

I will get my electrician to do the qualified stuff - I’m just doing a bit of hole drilling and prep.

Thanks in advance
