House supply of 10mm distance from transformer 115m

[Richard Knight]

We bought a plot of land over two years ago which had permission passed for holiday chalets. We paid the seller on completion the sum of £3000.00 to lay down electric cable and water pipes to connect us to mains supply. The cable he has installed is roughly 115m from the mains transformer. And it's only 10mm which we are very annoyed with as that is going to seriously limit our electric capabilities.

What is the best case scenario we could expect from 10mm 3 core armored cable from the main fuse in a meter housing next to the transformer and then a 115m run to our property. I believe voltage drop could be a serious issue?

Thanks

We need more information ..what is the installation method(s) of the cable we don't want to assume here.

 

[Richard Knight]

It is laid in the ground without any conduit to the edge of our property. Do you need any other details?

Thanks

Thats the installation failed from the outset.

What was on paper when you handed over your money ? Was there a specified cable size/capacity of supply in amps ?
What is the size of the fuse protecting this cable at the transformer ?

What did the supplier/seller state the supply would be?

If there is not rated level you could be up a creek without a paddle.

Are you sure its 10mm? How have you measured it?

 

[Richard Knight]

100% 10mm and it says it in the legal paperwork.

100% 10mm and it says it in the legal paperwork.

Yes, but what did they say they would do? If they have done what they promised you will have to get it re-done

 

[Richard Knight]

Yes they have done what they say in the paperwork. Not disputing that, i'm concerned about the usability of it. Which it appears will be inadequate.

I have an option for Scottish Power to lay down 100m of 25mm cable into an existing supply... any ideas on the cost of that, just waiting for a quote.
