Think you will find you can't export the earth from the main building as it TN-C-S you will have to only bring out the line and neutral from house, make the detached garage a tt system, then bond all extraneous parts to you new tt main earthing terminal. Ie structural steel and heating pipes. Job done!

Think you will find that who ever told you that is an obsessive compulsive liar. :lol:
 
As it's a separate building and with a PME service at the head, you will need the separate 10mm bonding conductor between the MET and garage EMT in this garage to connect to the steel frame and to the daft copper heating pipes etc, if your intending on extending the house PME equipotential zone!! What sort of distances are we talking about here??
 
if the 6mm SWA is already in place and a 10mm bonding conductor would be a pain to fit, then TT the garage. bloody big rod and the steelwork should give a decent Ra. LOL.
 
Yeah it`s already in situ, beneath a block paved yard. His garage is still under construction but he is putting insulated plasterboard on the walls, tinted windows etc. Should be nice and snug when complete

a good argument for putting the cable in ducting. could have pulled a 10mm bonding in retrospectively. now he's fooked.

Sounds more like a very comfortable naughty boy's room, where your mate goes for a beer and to watch the footie in peace!! lol!!
