Hi guys ,
I would really appreciate some advice from you pros, not sure if this is posted in the right area ,sorry if it's not.
basically I'm building a fairly big garden room /man cave at the bottom of my garden and I need to get power to it ,here's the deal , consumer unit is at the front of the house so I need to go straight up threw upstairs into the loft ,across the loft and down the brickwork at the back of the house, then underground to the bottom of the garden. All in all the run is going to be 50 meters with roughly half underground and half in the house/loft. The garden room is going to have a couple lights ,pendants. Couple electric rads, 3 double sockets , big tv , ps4 and fridge ,kettle. Now one electrician has told me I need 16 mm twin core armoured cable and nothing less, and another sparky has told me 6mm three core will be plenty.
I would really appreciate some feedback from anyone as this cable is pretty expensive and I don't want the house tripping out all the time. I will put the cable where it needs to go but obviously get a pro in to wire it all up . Once again apologies if this in the wrong area and I hope for some decent advice
cheers
