Many
people would find it easier to have handy electric sockets outside
making use of power tools like an electric lawn power or strimmer
much easier to use, leaving no trailing cables through your home.
Or at Christmas when adding a Christmas decoration
by the front door? Weatherproof sockets make the use of your
equipment outdoors much safer and easier. When the lid is closed
they can offer protection from the severest weather condition.
Part - P of the building regulations now effectively bans garden
enthusiasts from installing their own electrics in ponds, sheds,
garages and greenhouses which means that all electrical work
in the garden must be carried out by a government approved
electrician registered with Part P, like Datel Electrical Ltd.
Part P applies to garden lighting, pond lighting, pond pumps,
swimming pools, stables and saunas, along with outbuildings
such as sheds, detached garages & greenhouses.
Local authorities can order the removal
or correction of any
work that does not comply and you could be fined.
