Eurgh that's the thing. To get directly from my fuseboard it'll mean digging up my newly laid drive .... or going through the kitchen, that's been fitted about 2 months, want to avoid having to lift the floor there too ...
Everything was happening all at once and my silly brain couldn't comprehend asking the driveway people, " just run this line from here to here when you're doing your stuff plz m8".
I have a back up option... maybe. Got flooring to lay in the living room, it's a long way around but I could run it out the back and across the back garden to the shed. That probably means a run of about 25 metres when in reality, the shed is about 3 m from the main fuseboard of my house. fk.
I considered a simple out door socket and hook up a connector there but thought if I was going to that extent I could just run a permanent wire to my fuseboard.
Stupid stupid stupid.

You can surface mount armour core if necessary. There are cable clamp/clips available.
Not a perfect solution but can you not break into your ring main in the kitchen and add a switch spur to power the shed?
It'll mean chasing in another single socket sized hole adj to a socket, but that's about it. Minimal making good.
Then you could keep messing with the new kitchen to a minimum and drill to outside right through the back of the socket
box. Then run armour core cable down wall and into rear of shed. Connect consumer unit to that inside the shed
as already suggested. Or as you've already said, run a MUCH longer cable. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

Yes I get ya. I was there when it was all wired in, I did the donkey messy work to get the channels and back boxes in. Also, he mentioned the cable was way overrated, came from a site he was working on, white sheath, very inflexible unlike the thinner grey sheathed one we wired the rest of the house with, so I'm sure the cable will cope with the extra load.
If I wired something like that in beneath my cabinets, maintaining the ring I could drill out the back wall easy enough. Next issue, you can't see it in the pictures. My house has a concrete fookin walkway right around the house, except where it was removed doing the drive. Really. should. have. done. this. when. drive. was. being. built.
So I suppose I'd dig a channel out beneath the concrete, drill a hole down and fish the cable out underneath somehow? Then I could trench it across to the shed (600 mm deep I'm reading?) where I'm picturing it, it's about a 4 m stretch to get to the concrete base. I assume it's ok to allow the cable to come directly up the side of the concrete pad to go through into the shed wall, providing it's secured well? ____________________ I'm Sam; Northern, Ginger, Lover

I've made my mind up, with regard to electrickery.
Between my shed and the kitchen wall, I'm going to put in a wooden frame containing a gate, I think it'll be good to have a barrier between the front and rear of the house, stops the pikeys just being able to walk around at least.
I'm gonna run armoured cable along the outside of the wall, to meet the top of the frame and run the cable through that to the eaves of the shed. I really can't face digging the drive up. It has soooooo much hardcore under there, not to mention the edging stones are cemented in too.
My mate, the sparky, reckons we'll be able to do it and keep it tidy. I already have a long drain pipe running along the wall from my boiler so I should be able to avoid extra lines along the house, too.
Also, regarding insulation; I'm worried, probably too worried, that I'll get some insulation in and I'll board it all in and it'll cause my nice new shed to rot away for holding moisture against the outer walls ... Recently I've thought about a simple method of just putting a bathroom extractor fan in on one of the walls, that'll help with some air changes ... maybe? ____________________ I'm Sam; Northern, Ginger, Lover

Fans...
Not a mental thought for a 'workshop'.
It doesn't take more than five mins for CO to build up from an un-ventilated petrol engine.
The eves of my garage are almost level with my boiler air vent.
I put a CO alarm in the garage just in case the boiler fumes vented under the roof as I was tinkering and I woke up dead of CO asphyxiationitus.
There was no CO off the boiler but I had the bike running one day with the doors open and the alarm went off it's head about three minutes after I started the engine.

I'd put a timber floor in, it'll be warmer than concrete. ____________________ NSR125RR - ZXR750H1 - ZX9R E1 - GSF600S - GSF600SK3 - VFR400-NC30 - SV1000N - ST1100-R - CBR900RR-R - GSF1200SK5 - GSF600SK1 - VFR1200FA - GSXR1000K2 - ZZR1400 D8F
