Hi Rich, Unfortunately this really is dependant on the Electrician in question. The biggest out lay for the Electrician will be the Steel Wired Armoured Cable, which depends on length, number or cores and size. For an outside shed predominantly just lights and sockets you would be looking at at least a two-core, 4mm diameter wire. The job would take approximately a day and cost is determined by location with Electricians in London charging almost double those in other parts of the country. A reasonable budget to assume for would be anywhere between £150-£250 for parts and £150-£400 for labour. Kind regards, Matt ELCERT
