Powering our home office
When we moved into our terraced house, there was a small play house and a shed in the backyard both of which were powered via a non-buried armoured cable that ran to a standard outdoor outlet at the back of the house. We had both removed, and had the wire disconnected as it was clearly not properly installed and wires at the box were exposed to the elements. We then had an insulated summer house built thinking powering it wouldn't be an issue (it's our first house, forgive our ignorance!) We've had an electrician in but he's said it requires us to have the cable running from the fusebox. Understandable. Problem is, that the fusebox is at the very front of our house, and while the first two thirds of the house is floorboards and somewhat accessible, according to our neighbours (we haven't ripped up the floors yet to check) the rear of our house is solid concrete. Do we have any options?

House Alarm Niusance
Since a recent power cut, my not in use house alarm has gone crazy. The alarm kept making chirping noises and then went off making such a noise that I took the plug out at the circuit break in my fuse. But it’s still making noises from the back up battery I think. What do I need to do to make it stop?
Quotation question

Cost to rewire a kitchen
Afternoon all, I have some quotes for a kitchen rewire. They're not that far apart, but I an somewhat surprised it costs this much for just a single room? What would most of you charge a typical kitchen rewire job?
