Discuss Powering Shed for fish house. in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

While you could put in a "super extension lead" using some 2.5mm SWA and suitable boxes at each end to gland the cable to and (at least sending end) feed out some flex to a 13A plug, it is really not a great solution as folks above have already said. You are better to get this done professionally.

You can save a bit of money if you are willing to dig the trench / put in duct / etc for some of the physical route as most sparks will be happy to see that job done by someone else, but getting a proper spec down and working through your options with them is your best plan.

While you are doing this you might want to put in some outdoor Ethernet cable for any web cameras, etc, you might fancy to watch things remotely. Also if the fish are valuable you might want to consider Lucian's point about a big-ish UPS for some backup power, or at least some for of power-fail alarm or tank temperature alarm to alert folks to problems before they become fatal to your finned friends.
