Inland, IP44 is the minimum, but IP65 lasts longer in Devon rain. Make sure every outdoor circuit has RCD protection.
How far can you run power to a barn or workshop near Ottery St Mary?
A long way, with the right cable. Runs of 50 metres or more are common on properties near Ottery St Mary; the electrician sizes the armoured cable so the voltage doesn't drop. Digging is often the biggest cost, so ask if you can dig the trench yourself.
How do I get proper power to a garden office in Ottery St Mary?
Not with an extension lead. Most garden offices in Ottery St Mary get an armoured cable from the house, a small board in the office and its own RCD. Expect about £420 for a short run, more for long gardens or heaters. You can save by digging the trench yourself.
How do I check an electrician is properly registered?
Look them up on the NICEIC, NAPIT or ELECSA register using their name or postcode, not just the logo on a van. Ask for their registration number and a copy of their insurance. A good electrician will happily send both before you book.
