I did similar - ran up the wall outside the house and into the softit box, through the loft and down into the cupboard in the middle of the house. Used a 25m pre-made UV stabilized cable from amazon which I just re-spliced connectors on to suit. Going over the roof will look tatty and birds or...

Thanks a lot for the information gentlemen, I am curious as to what breaches of rules or laws I would be making doing this DIY vs hiring a contractor?

Thanks EFL. Forgive my scope creep here... If I use a 25mm surface mount double socket plastic backing box fed by a 4mm² cable, I can later add surface mounted 20mm plastic conduit to other outlets as needed, correct? what cable size would be needed to the addition outlets?

To confirm a ring I though one would need to measure the resistance of both ends of the cable coming into/from the b32 breaker. Is that the resistance eric was referring to in post #2? I just tested and there is continuity between the positives when removed from the b32 breaker. I did make sure...

So I will confirm it is in fact a 2.5mm² cable (thanks for your suggestion regarding using lugs eric). I do not have a meter capable of measuring low enough to confirm if the circuit is a pure ring. As for adding a switched fused junction before the single double plug I will consider - one...

Thanks guys for the quick replies. Eric, Are you suggesting a switched socket with an integrated fuse holder? (I have not seen one before) 1st - I can confirm there is a RCD and a B32 feeding the 2.5mm² supply to the circuit. 2nd - Whether it is an actual ring or not I am not sure how to...
