Landlords 5 year Electricity check

3 lengths of 10mm cable from the back of the indoor socket to a waterproof junction box on the outside wall which contains a steel connector strip.
From the junction box there are 2 SWA cables. 1 x 10mm 3 core, (L,N+E), going to a shed about 15 metres away which has a 'Garage' CU fitted with 30mA RCD, 1 x 20A MCB feeding a ring circuit of 3 sockets and 1 x 6A MCB feeding 2 lights The second SWA from the junction box, (and hence the same connection strip), is 4mm 3 core, (L,N+E), going to an outdoor waterproof socket, (also 30mA protected), feeding 2 freezers in a shed about 5 metres away. The outdoor socket is also mounted inside the shed.
Although the 'big' shed with the ring in has a few woodworking tools, (small lathe, planer/thicknesser. table circular saw and table top mitre saw), only one socket at a time is ever able to be used because I can only operate one piece of machinery at a time. All machines are fitted with 13A plugs.

I'll see if I can get some photo's of the outside box showing the cables, garage CU and freezer socket over the weekend if the weather eases up.
