Yes and SWA is not that expensive, wired up lots of friends garages and sheds. Yes you do have to pay for the cable.I always wire to the 17th edition of the IEE regulations which usually adds say £10 to the SWA cost as you need to increase the conductor size of the SWA to get the lighting voltage drop below 3%. It's not a game changer

Sorry but being able to mess about in a bright warm garage is just great but yes insulation, electics and other stuff has to be paid for.

Fair enough, I certainly agree with you about having a decent electricity supply to the garage, it's just that having 50m of 6mm SWA laid to our garage ended up costing us way more than £200, and that's with our electrician doing the job at mate's rates.
Well worth doing, though.
