    Rewiring to a garage

    I never wanted anyone to do the job for me, I had a problem, I had come up with a solution, I just wanted some advice as to if there were any problems with doing it that way. A simple yes mate that's fine or no mate have you considered x,y,z... would do

    Introduction to the forum members

    Yeah already fallen foul of a few keyboard warriors who have to belittle anyone who asks for advice. "you asked for advice! you obviously have no clue." "Get a sparky in to do it for you!" Because obviously they knew everything the moment they qualified and never had to ask anything.:rolleyes...

    or maybe have 3m tails from the AB in place of the 10mm2T&E+cpc? see we all make mistakes;)

    Rewiring to a garage

    yeah sorry getting tired, up too early and not enough sleep last night.:( does the bonding conductor not need to have a minimum csa of 10 mm to an outbuilding fed form a dwelling with a pme system? i put cpc by error and not pbc. but without going round again off top of my head i cannot...

    Rewiring to a garage

    but at least i am trying to get the job done correctly with some SWA and not with a bit of 2.5 t&e buried bare to the garage like the last dodgy spark did

    Rewiring to a garage

    No your right i have never had to do a garage rewire where the CU is so far in the house. normally its a simple job of having a AB outside and running through to the CU, but as this is the first time i have come to a job like this i wanted to ask for advice and not just go at it cowboy fashion...

    Rewiring to a garage

    In metal conduit that is run along the bottom of the kitchen behind all the cupboards. no idea how deep with out ripping the new kitchen out and knocking hole in the wall to measure. But if i can prove its earthed (or provide one) there is no need to RCD regardless of depth.:cool: The next...

    Rewiring to a garage

    Now would you put it as an non-rcd protected way on the House CU (would need a new CU as all ways are in use) or go for the Henley block split and switch fuse like i was thinking about?

    Rewiring to a garage

    Yeah thats along the lines of what i was thinking to do. Just was not sure if there was any issues with doing it like that. i even mentioned in the OP that it would need 3m of cable inside the house due to where the CU is so i was wondering why you would suggest stripping 3m of armour off;):D
  18. butchtaylor909

    Rewiring to a garage

    The armour obviously limits the flexibility of the SWA and therefor hinders the routing of the cable. Concrete floors so no cavity to send it under. He wants to try and keep things as simple as possible. and to be honest so do i. 3m of flex is easier to route through a house than 3 m of SWA...

    Rewiring to a garage

    Hi everyone, I have been asked to look at someones Garage for them as they want to be able to have more "stuff" in there. currently it is powered by a 2.5 t&e run from the house CU straight to a 2g pattress. But they want a separate CU in the garage. my initial idea was to henley block and...

    New Home - Advise Needed

    @OP this is the first step, as you tag says you're from Perth you will need to contact Scottish & Southern Electricity Networks who is your distribution network operator(DNO) and ask for a quote for a service alteration (move the black cable and little black box in your second picture) which...
