There are different brands of electric chair now?!Do it yourself and don't tell anyone.
Is this for the electric chair I recommended?

Do you think a 34amp ring main will be enough for that?Do it yourself and don't tell anyone.

I'm not an expert in the field but if all else fails I've got a few more suggestions...Do you think a 34amp ring main will be enough for that?
Are you a sparky Mr Cosmic?
Stealing electricity to run the grow lamps is one of the major causes of busts. Power companies fly about with IR cameras looking for overheating pole-mounted transformers in rural areas and go and investigate as part of their routine maintenance programme. Illegal extraction to power the lamps often causes the transformers to overheat. One of the golden rules of skunk farmers is "Don't steal the leccie"Yeah, apparently they use helicopters and infrared cameras to detect weed farms.
I may go that route. There are a couple of things I still need to find out. I only need sockets in one place so i was thinking a radial spur would do rather than a ring, I'm not envisaging running anything big in there and I don't know if I need conduit or I can just clip the wire as you said.The going rate for an electrician around here is £190 per day. London, you'd pay a lot more. North, you'll probably pay a lot less.
If this is all surface fixed cabling and you're not 100% confident in wiring the whole thing yourself (and then getting it checked & certificated), then I'd compromise and do the first fix (ie run all the cables to the various locations, and clip them in place). This can be a time consuming job, but won't require a lot of thought in a garage. At £190/ day, you could save yourself the price of a couple of pairs of cycling shorts by doing it yourself. Your electrician can then come in and do all the connections.
If you want "four or five" sockets, they ought to be on a ring. If I remember rightly, you should only run one socket on each spur, and it should originate either from the consumer unit or a socket on a ring. I could be wrong. Anyway, running a ring as opposed to a radial is not going to much more expensive, either in cable cost or wiring-up time.I may go that route. There are a couple of things I still need to find out.

That's a spur off a ring isn't it but yeah point taken about it not being much extra, aside from moving all the cupboards and bikes that is!If you want "four or five" sockets, they ought to be on a ring.

I don't know where the sockets will be, but you will have to move the bikes and cupboards whether you have rings or radials won't you? One run of 2.5 mm TWE doesn't exactly take up a whole lot more room than two lengths run side by side.That's a spur off a ring isn't it but yeah point taken about it not being much extra, aside from moving all the cupboards and bikes that is!
No but if I'm going to run a ring I might as well take it right around the shed, I'm just being lazy.I don't know where the sockets will be, but you will have to move the bikes and cupboards whether you have rings or radials won't you?
