Hi. I have built shed that is connected to the side of the house.
Main purpose of need for electricity is for light and odd time use of power washer.

I have put in the shed one light, motion sensor, switch and double socket. All just needs to be connected.
To supply shed I am using spare sockets cable from kitchen. Its hooked on 16a breaker.No rcd on main consumer unit in house.
Do i need extra breaker and rcd in shed?
Do i need earth it down at the shed?
