Outbuilding Power & Lighting FAQs
Can I run power to a shed or garden office?
Yes, provided it is done correctly. A permanent electrical supply must be installed by a qualified electrician.
Do I need planning permission for electrics in an outbuilding?
In most cases, no. However, all electrical work must still comply with building and safety regulations.
Can I use an extension lead instead of a proper supply?
No. Extension leads are not suitable or safe for permanent use and should never be used to power outbuildings.
Can heaters or high-powered equipment be used?
Yes, but this must be considered at the design stage to ensure the supply, cabling, and protection are adequate.
Will my existing fuse box need upgrading?
Possibly. We assess your existing consumer unit and advise clearly if any upgrades are required.
Is the work tested and certified?
Yes. Where applicable, all work is tested and certified to confirm compliance and safety.
