How does one usually pass SWA through an exterior wall? Below ground level, or above ground level? Or just at the most convenient level?
I want to run power to my shed, with the cable being buried underground. Google searches, DIYnot searches and looking in the Wiki, I haven't been able to find any information on the pretty universal task of running a cable through an exterior wall. Perhaps I'm being paranoid, but I don't want to end up with damp problems caused by a cable run!
The wall in question is a 1920s cavity wall, both skins are brick. The cable would be run approx 8 metres from my CU, through the ground floor ceiling void as my ground floor is concrete slab.
