We recently completed an electrical installation project for a garden and livestock shed in Goonhavern, ensuring safe and reliable power access while maintaining the structure's integrity.
Working methodically across Cornwall’s rural landscape, we installed a robust power supply using 6mm armoured cable from the existing metered supply to service this agricultural building. Understanding the unique requirements of a livestock environment, we positioned all electrical components strategically, with high-level cable routing and additional protective measures. The installation includes an IP-rated double socket and an energy-efficient LED batten light, both mounted on solid timber backing to preserve the building’s weather resistance. We’ve incorporated protective conduit housing for all exposed cabling, making this installation both practical and completely safe for animals.
Safety was paramount throughout this project, particularly given its agricultural setting in the Cornish countryside. We carefully planned each aspect of the installation to ensure all electrical components remained well out of reach of livestock. The LED batten light provides excellent illumination while keeping energy consumption low, and its positioning allows for optimal light distribution throughout the space. The IP-rated socket offers versatile power access for various tools and equipment while maintaining safety standards against moisture and dust.
Our specialist knowledge of rural electrics came into play when designing the perfect solution for this agricultural building. The mounting solution utilised 18mm timber sheeting as a secure base for all electrical fixtures. This approach not only provided a solid foundation for the installation but also protected the shed’s outer cladding, ensuring its weatherproof properties remained intact. The strategic routing of cables at ceiling height, combined with robust conduit protection for vertical runs, creates a system that’s both safe and serviceable.
Agricultural electrical installations in Cornwall require careful consideration of the unique challenges presented by the rural environment. Our expertise in rural electrics ensures that every installation meets the specific needs of agricultural settings while adhering to all relevant safety regulations. The completed installation provides reliable, weather-resistant power access that will serve this agricultural building for years to come, demonstrating our commitment to delivering high-quality electrical solutions for Cornwall’s farming community.
