UK Safe Summerhouse Supply

[ronanblack212]

Good Evening Folks!

I recently started on my house for an Outhouse/Summerhouse 35m away from main Property.

It requires :-

x5 Double Sockets
x2 Strip Lights

The sockets will be used for Televisions and Charging.

I have 2 ways i’d like to to this.

A 6mm SWA from Main CU/32A RCD clipped Direct to Outhouse.

Onto the back of a 2.5mm Ring Circuit which will interpret a 5A FCU Spur for the 2 Lights.

Or to be ultimately safe,

A 10mm SWA from Main CU/40A MCB clipped direct to Outhouse.

Into a 2 Way “Garage” CU with a 16a breaker for Sockets and 6a breaker for lights.

Any doubts or ideas would be great!

Been out the sparky game for a while due to travelling for a couple years and just need best advice! Cheers.

Go for the garage CU. You'd be sick as a chip sat in the dark and having to walk back to the house in the rain to turn a breaker back in

“Sick as a chip”??? Is that a thing?

Sick as a dog, yeah… but chip? Never heard that before.

Haha yes, it is. Must be a northern expression. Have a Google
