Why does white T+E make you think DIY?

Because as a general rule, DIY sheds sell white T&E. Trade counters sell grey.


(well at least they used to before LSF started having a white sheath)

Wow
Did not expect so many answers when I got to this today. As I said the property is ex rental so I will try and get some history on the electrics, I would expect the items would have to of been tested at some point?.

They should have been if it was being rented out.

The shed will not have power,

It will.

Only got a washing machine and poss a dishwasher to install and we will not run them both at the same time.

You will.

And as for cermaic hobs, Man they suck in my opinion, gas is the way to go.

I'm with you on that one.

We have had a free electrical check flyer come in through the door from our current provider so may take them up on it, to get an idea of what they think.

Free electrical checks are worth every penny you pay for them.

As it is aout first place our plan was to get bits done as we go, as we cannot afford to rip everything out and replace it all in one hit, so we were going to do bits over the years rather than all in the first few months.

Yo - get a proper PIR done so that you know where you stand.
