Garage power

[Mewff91]

Hi guys new to this looking to run power to my garage from the house cOnsumer unit. The garage is seperate from the house.

I was thinking as the board is dual rcd of running 4mm cable from a 32a mcb to outside then swa in 4mm to garage.

In the garage i will go into a new enclosure and run a 20amp mcb ring circuit, reason for 20amp is thst im only having three sockets in the garage and will not be doing any heavy work.
I will then run a 6 amp circuit for the lighting

I know its a lot to take in but does this seem logical and will it comply with the regs?

Cheers guys

If your not an electrician and a member of one of the Part P scam providers, then you would need to get LABC approval and tested, which will cost you anything from 150 to 350 quid before you start, depending on your LABC fee's!! So it makes prefect sense to hire a local registered electrician to do this work for you!!

You can always cut your costs, by digging any cable trench and back filling of same under instruction from the hired electrician....

sounds ok. but i would use 6mm cable to allow for increased load in future, you have not said how you are earthing the garage, and bear in mind that a fault in the garage will take out half of you house CU.

As Eng54 says, this is notifiable, so better off getting a part P registered sparky on the job.

sounds ok to me as long as its installed correctly and tested

He's saying he's new to this and asking if it will comply with regs. I would say he's not.
