    Rewiring to a garage

    I never wanted anyone to do the job for me, I had a problem, I had come up with a solution, I just wanted some advice as to if there were any problems with doing it that way. A simple yes mate that's fine or no mate have you considered x,y,z... would do

    Rewiring to a garage

    No your right i have never had to do a garage rewire where the CU is so far in the house. normally its a simple job of having a AB outside and running through to the CU, but as this is the first time i have come to a job like this i wanted to ask for advice and not just go at it cowboy fashion...

    In metal conduit that is run along the bottom of the kitchen behind all the cupboards. no idea how deep with out ripping the new kitchen out and knocking hole in the wall to measure. But if i can prove its earthed (or provide one) there is no need to RCD regardless of depth.:cool: The next...
