About External Buildings
Reliable Electrical Installation for External Buildings
Need safe, permanent power to a shed, garage, garden office, or summerhouse? Whether you’re turning your outbuilding into a workshop, home office, or just need lighting and sockets, we’ll install it properly and to current UK standards.
At Electric-Cal Solutions, we carry out expert external building electrical installations across Mansfield and nearby areas. From initial cable runs to fuseboard upgrades and internal lighting, we do it all — safely, neatly, and with full certification.
No more running risky extension leads across the lawn. We’ll wire your outbuilding correctly using armoured cabling, RCD protection, and proper consumer units where needed.
What’s Included in a Typical Outbuilding Electrical Install?
External buildings vary, and so does their electrical setup. We tailor every install to match how you’ll use the space. A standard project might include:
-
Underground or overhead armoured cable from the main house
-
Outdoor-rated sockets, lights, or switches
-
Internal lighting and power sockets for your outbuilding
-
New consumer unit (fuseboard) inside the external building
-
Earth bonding and safety checks
-
Optional data/internet cabling for garden offices
Whether it’s for work, storage, DIY, or relaxing, we’ll design a system that fits — and keep everything fully compliant with Part P of the Building Regulations.
Reviews
Callum Umpleby
Awesome service, from choosing what we needed doing and professional recommendations to implementing our plan! Wont be going anywhere else for electrical services in Worksop.
Emma
Callum came to do the electrics down to our Summerhouse in 2021. The work was carried out on time and to a high standard. Everything was left neat and tidy, you would never have known he had been there. He did a wonderful job and as a result has done work for several of our neighbours too.
Jor
Callum completed our 1st and 2nd fix for our extension, advising on all aspects of lighting and electrical gadgetry. Wouldn’t use anyone else for our electrical works. He later completed a full install in the shed with great safety features
Rachael
Very professional service and such a pleasant guy. We would definitely recommend Callum.

FAQs
Do I need a separate fuseboard in my outbuilding?
If you’re installing more than just a single socket or light, yes — we usually fit a small consumer unit inside the outbuilding to handle multiple circuits safely.
Can you install underground cables?
Yes. We regularly install SWA (steel wire armoured) cables either buried underground or run overhead, depending on access, safety, and cost.
How much does it cost to wire an external building?
Costs vary by distance, trenching needs, and how many sockets or lights you want.
Can you install power and internet to my garden office?
Absolutely. We can run both mains electricity and ethernet cable, so your office has strong Wi-Fi, lighting, and sockets — just like a proper indoor room.
Do I need permission or building regs for this?
You usually don’t need planning permission, but electrical work must follow Building Regs, which we handle as certified Part P electricians.
