Wiring in a conservatory

[Loveridge]

Im currently an electrical apprentice and my mum in thinking about having a new conservatory installed (if that's the right word). One contractor she's had in to quote has said that the electrics must be isolate from the rest of the house according to the regs? Is this true? Surely they could just spur off the ring (of which there is a socket the other side of the wall) to supply the ring and lighting? Not a massively important question but was just wondering so cheers for any replies

In this case i=p/u, it's not a case of knowing my stuff as you put it, but the Builder being totally Wrong!!! There is nothing in the Regs supporting his statement, so there is certainly no case for ''no right or wrong'' here.

The days of conservatories being classed as the old ''lean too's'' of yesteryear have long since gone. Most of these conservatories can cost several thousand pounds these days, so there going to be more than capable of being in situ for a considerable number of years, if not the lifetime of the main house it's self...
