garden shed electrics

Just after a bit of advice...

I want install some decking lights (you know, type you can buy from B & Q and such like). However I would need to run a cable from the house to the shed, and the from there out to the lights. Is it generally acceptable for me to run say an extension wire on a trip from the house to the shed - or would it cause problems i.e. insurance/fire risk etc Or should I really consider an electrician to do the work?

As I say its not a major project - just some low wattage LED lights.

As it'll be out there in all weathers you should look at doing it right. Its a pretty simple matter of running a spur from inside the house to a consumer unit in the shed. But undoubtedly this will require a spark who's given some money to a quango for a bit of paper.

It will be by the time you have complied with building regs!

If there low voltage have the transformers inside no need to faff around with outdoor cables being run.
