Thanks for your help. And everyone else. It is very much appreciated.

Half kitchen is from the same MCB as the outside electrics. The other half is on the same MCB as boiler and downstairs sockets (not including front room and other half of kitchen). I had a look but couldn't see the size of the SWA the other day. I'll look again later. The furthest shed is...

Thank you so much for this. Main aim was to check whether it is compliant or not and think you've confirmed my suspicion. New baby arrived has made me check alot of things i had concerns about but put off until later. Out of interest, what is the minimum to make it compliant? Is it just change...

Thanks Andy. That's why I added the diagrams of the arrangement. I had a feeling people thought this was the shed side. I've attached the diagrams of the current arragement here for ease of reference. Note I end the diagram at the middle shed (office) but it goes off to the end shed...

Also the first shed is being used as an office with heating. The second shed is more a summerhouse. So with heating.

So a single 2.5mm t and e is protected adequately by a 32 A MCB? If it is not a fused spur that is.

And the worrying socket from my original post. There are 5 cables going into this. There is a spur socket on the same side of the kitchen as it. I had originally thought it was a spur from upstairs as the cable went into the ceiling but I guess it could be run up and down as opposed to...

The only reason I was going for the CU was that it seemed an easy and neat way of adding protection. Having this and removing the fuse instead of adding another. Unfortunately I haven't yet found where the pictured t and e connects to the ring final. I have drawn the arrangement above to make...

I've done a couple of quick sketches to explain the arrangement a bit better. I mention finding the origin of the spur in my original post. Is there an easier way to do this other than taking off wires from the back of sockets? I have a multimeter. And the full CU arrangement is as...

Ok thanks. I couldn't find where the t+e connects to the ring final. There are no other fused spurs in the house. I thought it could either be from a socket upstairs / kitchen or a junction somewhere. Checked a few upstairs, admittedly only that two cables in socket. Couldn't see any. I think ak...

Thanks for the reply Andy. The box pictured is in the utility attached to the house. The t and e comes from the house. The SWA goes directly to the shed. I don't think it is DIY. The previous owner said his electrician friend did it.

Hoping someone might be able to help. I moved into my house just over a year ago and have since found some oddities with the electrics. The latest is the shed. From switching off MCBs I've mapped out the circuits and it seems like the outside electrics (2 sheds and a couple of garden sockets...
