Advice on garage supply

[Sparks321]

Hi i'm looking for some advice, i have been to look at a job to wire a garage. In the garage will be 3 double sockets and 3 lights. What my idea was is to run a 6mm 3core swa from a non rcd protected way on 40amp mcb to 40amp rcd double switch in a 2way garage unit which will be feeding a 20amp radail and 6amp lighting circuit. The length of the swa will be approx 22m run under the floor cavity and out to garage.

Have you done any calculations?

What is the earthing arrangement in the house?

Seriously, just get a local spark to come and do it properly, it's not a DIY task.
