Need some consumer unit advice please

Detailed installation questions are always accompanied by an 'electrician' who's either on holiday, in jail, kidnapped or simply disappeared. Strange isn't it.

Do you know for sure that a board with a main switch rather than an RCD is required?

Regarding the CU, your electrician will probably have an opinion on internal wiring space, location and type of knockouts, price and availability of parts, number of ways used/spare, etc.

Running a 2 core sea won't provide an earth to the garage unless you are to going to install a separate earth spike solely for the garage, I'm which car sit would surely be easier just to use a 3 core cable?

Nobody has suggested to the OP,that a SWA cable is not the sole means of supplying power...

I have a pal,whose lathe is driven by a leather belt,running through a slot in his shed,to shafting with fast and loose pulleys...

You lot are so stuck,in the 21st century

Running a 2 core sea won't provide an earth to the garage ...

Eh? Why not 2 core SWA?

Eh? Why not 2 core SWA?

Can you not Bluetooth earth connections now-a-days.... Then you don't need SWA...
I'm going self employed... you boys are always on holiday.....
