Ball-park cost to extend power to sheds
Discussion
We have a couple of sheds, and two external sockets with flexible conduit buried by landscaper recently to get cabling to them.
Had problems getting a quote from a sparky for the work: finally came in with quote, sounds a little high to me
Work is around 10m cabling one side, maybe 15m the other to sheds, with a double socket (inside the shed) & what I would expect to be half a days work.
Just to sanity check this (& I appreciate this is Part-P certified work etc): any ideas on what the cost ought to be?
(& I know this is PH & I therefore run the risk of "a tenner plus crate of beer" to "£10K" - real estimates appreciated!!)
thx!

I recently had a quote for just over £500 all in to run power to my shed for a socket and light. Think it was a 50/50 split labour and materials. About 30m and was to be done at the same time as some other electrical work.
What have you been quoted?
Yikes!What have you been quoted?
Half that: sounded a lot to me, clearly it isn't!
Thanks all

LOL!& yup, that is indeed an option
....but having spent £Xk on landscaping (where X>7 !) and had the conduit buried with this in mind, it seems churlish not to expend another £250 getting a couple of sockets to the shed/summerhouse.
What for? Well, who knows....we could charge hedge trimmer batteries there instead of in the garage, we may plug fairy lights in, one day I may get a robotic lawnmower....
Thx for the replies/ideas!
