Outdoor sockets
Weather-resistant points for suitable garden use.
Outdoor power & lighting
Garden and outdoor electrics in London
Weather-resistant outdoor sockets, lighting, power supplies and cable routes designed around the environment, distance and intended load.
Service overview
Outdoor electrical work must be designed for the real environment.
Moisture, physical damage, burial depth, cable routes, voltage drop and equipment rating all matter outdoors. A standard indoor approach is not suitable.
Bastian Electrical can install outdoor sockets, garden lighting, defined supplies and armoured-cable routes for suitable domestic and smaller commercial projects.
The supply capacity, earthing arrangement and protection are assessed alongside the intended use—whether that is occasional garden tools, lighting or an outbuilding.
A weather-resistant enclosure is only one part of a safe outdoor installation. Cable type, route, joints, protection and future maintenance access also matter.

Can you install an outdoor socket?
Yes, subject to a suitable supply, protection, route and location.
Does outdoor cable need to be armoured?
Not in every situation, but the cable must be suitable and protected for its installation method and environment.
Can you supply a garden office?
Potentially. The expected load, distance, route, earthing and distribution need to be assessed.
Do you dig trenches?
Groundwork arrangements are agreed per job. The electrical quotation will state whether trenching or route preparation is included.
Can garden lights be controlled automatically?
Suitable timers, photocells, sensors or smart controls can be considered.
Why does outdoor power trip when it rains?
Water ingress, damaged equipment, poor joints or cable defects are possible causes. The circuit and connected equipment need testing.
