    When the bottom of the garden is the only bit of garden you have, quite a lot.

    If the bottom is all you have - how is it the bottom?

    A bottom needs a middle and top :rotfl:

    I would love the middle and top, but sadly not an option

    The cost will depend on a lot of things including how up to date your fuse board is. You might be looking at a day of work perhaps?? Rates round here (London) for a day are around £300. Materials - maybe £50???

    Just a guess!

    That doesn't sound too terrible, thanks :D

    One has to ask. What are you going to be doing at the bottom of the garden after dark?
    I can afford anything that I want.
    Just so long as I don't want much.

    Barbecuing, drinking, chatting etc. Nothing too dodgy!

  • the cable will have to run from your flat, thorugh the shared garden to your section. what floor is your flat?

    is the path it would follow obvious? does your lease allow you to put holes in exterior walls?

    if the path the cable has to run isnt easy, this could cost a fortune to fit.
