Thanks all , I'll have a chat with him later, if you guys think it's alright I'm sure he will.
It's going on a 16a mcb that's rcd protected too.

That could be wired as a radial, and on a 32amp circuit.

Spoke to him.
He's fine using 4mm, but from the sounds of it , he's coming off a single socket that's a radial from the 16a mcb, will he ring it back to the socket ?
Is this good practice .
There would be a lot of wood boxing to remove to take it back to the board and there's potential for asbestos which I don't think he wants to touch.

Ok.

If I understand correctly - no.

It's just a cable - larger than necessary.

Don't do it then.

It's not bad practice, but I would want some means to provide double pole isolation, of the outdoor circuit. Even better, if a way could be found, to put it on its own separate circuit.

Thanks.
So just a radial from the single socket then on 4mm.

There's no big loads happening here , all my garage gear is battery or petrol (apart from my strimmer), so just the extra sockets for chargers etc.

Thanks

Well, extending the radial which is already there.
