Garage conversion CU

[Mr.Ian]

Hi all, attached garage to be converted to granny annex (front room / kitch / shower). Would it be best to run a supply to a new cu or to just wire it into the house rings ? Original downstairs (house) shower supply will be used to supply the shower in the annex as house one is being removed. New ring would be needed for new kitch? (no need for cooker supply as only worktop mini oven / microwave used). Lighting in new shower on own supply?.
Your thoughts.
Cheers.

I'd probably just run in a new ring circuit for the whole area, and use the existing lighting circuit for your lighting needs. Any extra loading for this Granny flat is going to be minimal so Absolutely no need for a separate CU....

Agree with E54 with regards to loading etc, you might want to take a look at how the physical wiring would work though as for the sake of a few quid it might be easier to run a 10 or 16mm T&E from the existing CU and fit a sub board - only you will know as you're the one looking at it!

 

[Mr.Ian]

Sounds like the best plan to me, unless there are any other reasons for an additional cu in the flat i'll just run a new ring from a spare way in the house cu and extend the lighting.
Thanks

The only other thing to think of is "how daft is granny". If she has her own C/U then whatever happens she won't knock off all the house when the footy is on!

What equipment is going in the kitchen? That will be the ruling factor.

there's only 3 items of equipment required in a kitchen.... a sink, a cooker and a woman. tin hat firmly attached.

:iagree: I think you qualify for Honourary Geordie status. :17:

 

[Mr.Ian]

The kitch will have counter top mini oven (no hobs) / microwave / kettle and I was forgetting the fridge freezer and a washing machine.

You forgot the fridge to keep the beer that the woman is going to fetch for you
