Hi all,
I'm looking at electrifying my garden buildings: a garage a couple of metres from the house with concrete ground inbetween, then a workshop/office 20m away at the bottom of the garden, plus a couple of sockets/lights on the way.
I will absolutely have a registered electrician in to do this work as I'm in no way qualified or competent.
However, I wanted to know in advance of that what the regulations are for situating the cable?
We had the house rewired at the start of this year, so there's already an un-connected thick black armoured cable from (near) the consumer unit to near the garage. When this is connected, will it need to be buried in the concrete to run to the garage? What about running down the garden, is it a buried job or what's the plan?
If anyone can point me to the right point in the regulations or has their own views, I'd be much obliged.
Many thanks,
Rob
