A weatherproof outside socket off an indoor circuit is usually £170–£355. Running power to a shed, workshop or garden office with armoured cable is nearer £840, depending on distance and digging.
What outdoor fittings last near the sea?
In Sidmouth, go for IP65 or better with stainless or plastic fixings. Cheap fittings corrode within a couple of winters from the salt air, and corroded outdoor sockets are a top cause of RCD trips.
Do you cover the villages round Sidmouth, like Sidford and Sidbury?
We do. The outdoor & garden power prices on this page already include jobs in Sidford, Sidbury, Newton Poppleford, Salcombe Regis. Village visits are usually booked on the same days as Sidmouth work, so the next slot (in 5 days) normally applies to you too.
Does the East Devon National Landscape change what I can fit in Sidmouth?
A little. Sidmouth is in or next to the East Devon National Landscape, so permitted development is tighter: kit on walls facing a road and ground-mounted panels can need planning. Normal roof panels and side-wall chargers usually don't. Check with East Devon District Council if in doubt.
Who signs off outdoor & garden power work in Sidmouth?
Your electrician, if they're on a scheme like NICEIC. They test the work, issue an Electrical Installation Certificate and notify East Devon District Council building control. Hiring someone who isn't registered means paying the council to inspect it, which costs far more.

Does living by the sea in Sidmouth affect electrical work?
It can. Salt air corrodes outdoor sockets, lights and meter boxes faster, so ask for IP65 or better outside. Older properties and holiday lets here also tend to have damp in outbuildings, which an electrician will check during the job.
Is Sidmouth part of a World Heritage Site, and does that matter?
Sidmouth sits in or beside the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site, which counts as protected land for planning. Panels or kit on a wall facing a road can need permission. Inside the house it makes no difference. East Devon District Council can confirm for your street.
