Discuss New circuit to detached shed/garage in garden. in the Electrical Wiring, Theories and Regulations area at ElectriciansForums.net

I'm presuming the circuit you are tapping off in the house is RCD protected. Then you talk about a RCD in the garage. What you doing for discrimination?
 
Nothing is cast in stone as yet as I haven't bought any materials hence me signing up here on this friendly forum for advice from those who have wired up a shed or garage. As yet I haven't so want to know the best way to go about it. The client won't pay for all of his patio to be lifted up to get to his CU. So am also bound by what he is willing to pay for etc.
 
You are not bound by what the client is willing to pay for.
If he’s not willing to pay for it to be done properly then don’t be doing a substandard job.
It won’t get signed off and it won’t go through building control..
 
You will need to draw your own conclusions Chaz, the OP has not indicated his experience or knowledge in installation methods, so the assumption will be that this is a DIY project.
 
Have you had a work with the customer about the limitations of only having 13A in his garage?
Is he happy with just 13A?
