New circuit to detached shed/garage in garden.

[David999]

Thanks everyone for you input much appreciated. So was on site again today and it would be a much bigger job to hook up to CU as there would be 40 slabs to remove instead of 4. Agreed LED lighting for sure. Got as far as FCU house side from ring main to 2.5 twin&earth in trunking put down under slabs with warning tape to garage (6m total cable length) . But in the garage I would like to go connect to an RCD and from RCD split to lighting FCU and the other straight to mains sockets. Or would you advise a mini CU with RCD and 2 MCB's? Thanks for your help.

PVC or Metallic, sticky back or screwed to the soil?

What is the point in asking professionals for their advice if you are just going to ignore it and go ahead with something that has been advised against?

I'm presuming the circuit you are tapping off in the house is RCD protected. Then you talk about a RCD in the garage. What you doing for discrimination?

Aren’t you supposed to notify before work commences?

 

[DPG]

What certificate are you issuing for this work?

Hi Charlie which advice are you referring to?

Are you wiring from the house under the slabs with t+e contained in trunking?

 

[David999]

EICs and yes will be notified

Nothing is cast in stone as yet as I haven't bought any materials hence me signing up here on this friendly forum for advice from those who have wired up a shed or garage. As yet I haven't so want to know the best way to go about it. The client won't pay for all of his patio to be lifted up to get to his CU. So am also bound by what he is willing to pay for etc.
