Electrics to shed

[EvilDonut]

Running an dlectric supply to the shed (not yet built)

SWA required or pvc twin/earth inside conduit ok?

How should the cable exit the main house and enter the ground/conduit?

Looked for some photos of this bit of detailing but not found anything that much of a match for my situation yet

There's only one way this will end up going, so in an attempt to avoid the back-and forth, I'll cut to the chase.

That you are asking questions like this shows that you do not have the necessary competence to design this, nor (probably) install it. Done properly it will be notifiable, and you will need Building Regulations approval (the fact that it is a shed which per se is not notifiable is of no relevance - the electrical work will be.)

You need to get an electrician. £ to a p he will be absolutely fine with you doing the donkey work of digging the trench, but deciding on the type of cable, where it should run, the size of it, where it should originate - all of this has to be left to him.

What he said

Taking the supply from a FCU or a 13A Plug and likely no need to notify, however clearly limited to 13A if you need more power then it becomes an electricians job as the costs to notify the LABC are silly.

So no point saying how to get over a 13A supply, the next is how to get the power into outbuilding it could go underground or it could be aerial, as BAS says this is the design and who ever does the job has to sign to say he has designed it correctly. This includes any steel wire used to support the supply cable, in the main the outdoor cable will be black, as this is better to cope with UV light.
