I suppose on the one hand if the customer wants to start adding in sockets where they haven't been designed for, then uprating the breaker because it keeps tripping, then that's their lookout and you'll just come along and rewire the circuit when it melts.
On the other hand if the feed to the shed had been run from the downstairs power final or better yet on it's own cct then fused down for the light in the shed, maybe even a socket added at the time, then the customer wouldn't feel the need to start messing about with it.
I wasn't having a go either, obviously you've seen the job and I haven't, what I was suggesting was in an ideal situation you'd minimise the risk of it being modified. Same with putting in 5A sockets for TV boosters and specific items of equipment.Did the quick job I was asked, if some one told you they wanted an extra outside light would you install a brand new circuit I think not,
Not having a go but that is like saying when a guy asked to change the oil in a car and someone turning it into a bently
Did you bother to read the background to all this? The guy connected socket outlets to a lighting circuitShow him Table H2.1 of your on-site guide, A2 Radial. Explain that his circuit is a type of radial and that it needs to be a 2.5 cable for him to have sockets.
Or, is it a fused connection, see H2.3..."Where a fused spur serves socket-outlets.....
