You're always going to struggle to get a consistent WiFi signal outside of the house. Best chance would be a booster or mesh system with one of the repeaters on a window sill so it only has glass to go through rather than a brick wall. You're other option would be to see (if it's that important to have BB in a shed) to run an ethernet cable between the shed and house. You'd have to do your own local research for someone to do that yourself.

There are also point to point wireless solutions available.  Sky won't provide support: the wording of the 'Enhanced Wall to Wall WiFi Guarantee' specifically excludes external buildings.

Yes, powerlines may be an option I'd forgotten depending on if and how the shed is wired.
