And I beleive current regs/law, is that this should be installed by a
qualified electrician, or checked by one, and a safety cert. issued. I'm
told cost of check and cert is around £80! Take care my friend.

He could do the same as dozens of other people and run an extension lead
down there, it will only be for 3 or 4 weeks at the most, once May gets here
it will be redundant.

Sort of. This would probably come under part P of the building regs. You
have the choice of getting it installed by someone who is a member of
one of the recognised organisations who can self certify. Put in a
building regs application - the local BCO will organised whatever
inspection they require. There are fees for BR applications.
Ignore Part P, and just do it.
