Doubling up meter tails

[normanton]

Just wondering what the regulations are on doubling up meter tails?
My girlfriends dad wants to convert the garage into a 'granny flat', and I plan on doubling up the connections in the meter to take a new 16mm supply to the garage. Opinions?

Cut seals? god no :coolgleamA: . I'm probably going to instal henley blocks to be honest. The existing house already has an electric shower and cooker. And this new flat is also going to have an electric shower. Oh and there's going to be a hot tub installed in the garden. I know, tell me about it. So this is why Im running a new supply in.

Think you need special permission for it as so many people were doing it badly and renting them out.
Maybe it's a London thing ,maybe I'm wrong ( as usually )

I would remove the cable first mate

GASP! And leave a 10mm wide hole with access to a live terminal? You sir are a monster

Well currently there's no supply to the garage, and by the end of the week there will be. By all accounts that's a new supply lol

No, that's an adaptation of an existing supply.

Another option could be sub-main in 16mm T&E all depends on loading.

No it's not. A NEW supply is provided by the leaky company.

do you think you know what you are doing?

 

[normanton]

Yes thats my plan. 16mm SWA from an adaptable box (and then into a henley block), which will supply a Sub mains in the new garage :stooge_curly:

Incorrect but you have to remove the hoists and spray booths first.

The MOT bay serves as kitchen and the rolling road is good for use as a treadmill...lol..

So people come up with a ridiculous idea, get decent advice from decent electricians who know what they're doing, but we're getting arsey?
Really?

See Ray, that's the kind of thinking that earns you the big bucks you're on.

Just out of curiosity. If you were asked to install a new fused spur for say, a boiler. What would you call that? Not running a new supply in obviously...
