i dont know what the existing cable is like so i would need to get it checked. i didnt know there was such a thing as a periodic inspection report but judging by the other diy disasters (non electric) we have unearthed im guessing this is going to be a very costly job. especially as where the...

Thanks for the replies, great help. The only reason i thought of it was because if i could do it, it would save having 30m of cable run and obviously eliminate the need for electrical work to be done in the house. As the problem is i have a very old CU and no space for a dedicated garden...
