Outdoor electrical work.

A garden office, workshop and shed can need very different electrical supplies. We plan around the equipment you want to use, the distance from the house and any heating or tools you may add later.

  • New electrical supplies to an outbuilding
  • Power and lighting for a garden office
  • Garage, shed or workshop electrics
  • Weatherproof outdoor sockets
  • Garden and security lighting
  • Consumer units and circuits within an outbuilding

Your outdoor installation

What the installation includes.

  • Cable and protection suited to the route and equipment you plan to use

  • The agreed sockets, lighting and outbuilding circuits

  • An outbuilding consumer unit where the design requires one

  • Inspection, testing, electrical certification and circuit information

Outdoor installation process

From survey to connection.

  • Discuss your plans

    Confirm what the space needs now and any equipment you may add later.

  • Survey and quote

    Check the existing supply and cable route, then agree the design and groundworks responsibilities.

  • Install the electrics

    Fit the cable and equipment once the agreed route and any groundworks are ready.

  • Test and hand over

    Complete the electrical tests, explain the controls and supply your documents.

Helpful to know

Questions about garden rooms, garages and outdoor power.

Can you install power to a garden office?

Yes. We consider the distance from the house, heating, sockets, lighting, computer equipment and anything you may add later when designing the supply.

Who digs the cable trench?

The quotation will state who digs the trench and restores the ground afterwards. The cable route, depth and ducting must be confirmed before digging begins.

Can I add workshop equipment later?

Possibly. Tell us about any machinery or other equipment you plan to add so we can allow for the power it will need when designing the supply.
