Outdoor power advice

Outdoor sockets and garden power safety

Safety and scope factors for outdoor sockets, garden offices and outbuilding supplies.

This is general customer guidance only. Electrical work, testing, certification and pricing must be reviewed by VLV Electrical Ltd.

Outdoor conditions matter

Outdoor electrical work must account for weather, mechanical protection, cable routes, RCD/RCBO protection, earthing, testing and intended load.

Larger garden supplies

Garden offices, outbuildings and garages may require SWA cabling, trenching, containment, load assessment and a more detailed quote.
