Outdoor and garden electrics in Huddersfield

Power for garden rooms, outdoor sockets, patio heaters, security lights and cameras.

Sockets and a wall light installed in a garden room

Outdoor electrics have a hard life in Huddersfield. Rain, frost and wind off the Pennines find out cheap fittings and poor joints quickly, which is why outdoor circuits are one of the most common causes of tripping we're called out to.

We install outdoor power properly from the start: the right cable buried or clipped at the right depth and route, weatherproof fittings with a suitable IP rating, and RCD protection on every outdoor circuit.

Outdoor work we do

  • Power and lighting for garden rooms, offices, sheds and garages
  • Weatherproof outdoor double sockets
  • Wall-mounted patio heaters on their own switched circuit
  • Security lights and PIR floodlights
  • Wired security cameras and doorbell power
  • Supplies for hot tubs and garden water features

Safety tip: Never run an extension lead out to a garden room or shed as a permanent supply. It isn't designed for it and is a common cause of shocks and fires.

How it works

  1. We look at where the power needs to go and the best cable route from the house.
  2. We agree fittings, sockets and lighting, and give you a fixed price.
  3. We run the supply, fit any sub-board needed, and install the fittings.
  4. We test the circuit, certify it and notify the work under Part P.

Questions about outdoor & garden electrics

Does a garden room need its own fuse board?

Usually, yes. A small sub-board in the garden room lets you protect its sockets, lighting and any heater on separate circuits, fed from your main consumer unit.

What IP rating do outdoor fittings need?

It depends on how exposed they are. As a guide, IP44 is the minimum for fittings sheltered from direct rain, and IP65 or above for fittings exposed to the weather.

Can you fit a security camera I've bought myself?

Yes. We can provide the power and fit cameras, floodlights or video doorbells you've chosen, and check they're suitable for outdoor use.
