but won't be able to put one at the external outlet end as the weatherproof door / flap won't close over an rcd plug.
If you do want to go this route, you replace the whole thing, cover and all. Might even be worthwhile until you work out the permanent solution (I am not an electrician but just repeating what one said to me).

When a spark saw what I had set up (extension lead from external socket out to shed with its own CU that I disconnect at the shed end everytime I leave it), his only suggestion (other than getting a proper armoured cable from the main CU) was to swap the external socket out for an RCD protected one. Mainly because the extension lead is always plugged into the external socket, it's the shed end I disconnect and he was worried about the extension lead degrading or being damaged while still plugged into the house. That was an easy swap. But then, I don't leave it connected when I'm not in the shed. Plug in when I enter, unplug when I leave. Thinking about it, I might actually change my order of operations and disconnect at the house end, that way I'm not walking into a dark shed in the evenings and it stops me leaving a live cable across my garden. No idea why I didn't think of that before.

If you can store them for the rest of the year, then you'll get multiple years out of a pair. For me, the school run can be a 30min round trip by bike or 90min by car, especially when the weather is shit. So when I see the forecast and dread changing out tyres without a puncture, I always thank past me for making the effort.

New extension but with suspended timber floor and insulated. I am also looking into the electric matts under floor tiles as well as traditional rads, just exploring lots of options. The original design included wet UFH, but all tenders came back with that being £15k. So I'm trying to remove that without also trying to find wall space for rads as the rest of the layout doesn't accommodate them. The rug would be a thin area rug (likely from ruggable as we have one of those in the living room as they are easily washable) and I would put an insulating/reflective underlay below the heater.
