Thanks, the smoke alarms do have battery back up, so moving them to a
lighting circuit seems the best way. I'm surprised that the RCB can be at
the end of the external cable - I naively assumed it neeed to be at the
start in case of faults within the cable - butI suppose that's pretty rare!
So it'll be:
2.5mm2 from spare non-RCB fuse way, metal joint box (inside garage) to
armoured cable, through wall , garden, shed, then a RCB protected socket, on
metal back box to allow termination using proper gland.

That sounds spot on. Although the correct terminology for the socket, for when
you're going to buy one, would be a metal clad RCD protected socket.
