The simple answer to this question is that unless you are an approved
electrical contractor under part "P" you can't do this as sheds and
garages are classed as special risk areas. If you wish to do it yourself
you must be able to show competence and notify the local building
inspectorate before carrying out the work and they will appoint an
inspector / tester to verify the work before it is re -energised. This
will cost the same as getting an approved electrician to do the job or
even more than.

On the other hand the cheapest, legal and therefore one has to assume the
most safest method, is to run an extension cable to the shed from a socket.
This is apparently called progress.

Presumably installing the whole thing, but sticking a normal 13A fused
plug on the feed to it would be OK ?

No need then to lie in bed worrying that the IEE or Part P police will
come knocking on your door at 5am demanding to conduct an inspection.
