Hi all, I'm after a second opinion before I allow somebody to do the work on my garden in Yorkshire.
I got a few quotes from qualified electricians to run electrics from the house to a garden room (approximately 6m away). Each electrician (including the one I instructed) made mention of the need for an armoured cable for the run from the house to the garden room. It will be buried under the lawn.
However, when the electrician started the work we noticed that he was not using armoured cable. We queried this and he said that it isn't necessary, providing the right cable size is used, has an isolation fused spur inside the house and is protected by the RCD of the consumer unit. Is this correct?
