Hi,
I have asked an electrician to install electrics in my house's garage. I'm happy with the electrical work he has proposed and quoted for, but I wanted to check his approach to running the cable to the garage.
A armoured cable will exit the house through the meter cupboard on a side wall, run down the side of the house, and then across the garden to the garage. Most of the trench will be fairly easy to dig - the problem is that there is a brick path running along the side of the house. My electrician recommends taking up the brick path and its concrete base, digging the trench, and then re-laying the path afterwards.
Is this how all electricians would approach it, or would some electricians have the equipment to tunnel under a narrow (1 metre) path?
