Hi,
I have laid a mains cable (13a flex) from a room in the house up into the loft, then down the outside of a wooden pannelled house (under the pannelling), and down into proper pipe designed to carry electrical wiring, this pipe is buried as our garden was landscaped recently, and goes to a shed. the pipework comes up into the bottom of the shed through the floor. Is this required to be certified, or is it okay as a diy job?
Inside the house, the cable plugs in to a normal socket, so is not hard wired to the house electrics in anyway. in the shed, an ip66 junction box splits the feed to a ip rated waterproof light switch / light, and then to ip rated waterproof sockets for a lawnmower etc.
I am not sure if it counts as a long extension lead, although could it be classed as hidden cable or hard wired because of the way i have routed it / mounted it in the shed?
thanks
