Planning the electrics in my shed-workshop... 

Can anyone help me on which consumer unit i would require from bnq? Going to be running a ring main of 6 sockets, 3 led batten lights, security light on outside of shed and a outside double socket for the garden.... I won't be wiring this up but i want to install and insulate around the parts before i call an electrician..

That's exactly the one i put in my garage. One MCB for the lights, one for the ring main and one for the outside. (You have to buy an extra MCB if you want 3.)

if you cant smell or taste it and it can kill you     get a sparkie to sort it      and you can prep fit lights / sockets  positions where you want and get  a local sparkie to run wires ring mains etc  inc armoured cable to shed and a sperate fuse board +a 16a  socket for welder etc outside lighting cctv etc   stay away from the diy sheds you will get the same  product far cheaper locally with a better customer service     heads up b +q  products do not have a British kite mark stamped on their produce

As the manufacturer wants to trade in the EU they make the stuff EU compliant. Once we leave the bs/kite mark will return in some form but I would imagine the standards will be compatible so we can still cross border trade. 

I'm many ways our codes and standards are higher than the EU were and they've come up to ours. At least electrically speaking.
