New circuit to detached shed/garage in garden.

[Pete999]

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?

Dee Dumm dee dumm lol

Are you wiring from the house under the slabs with t+e contained in trunking?

 

[David999]

EICs and yes will be notified

 

[DPG]

EICs and yes will be notified

Just checking

 

[David999]

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.

Do you know that you’re supposed to notify before work starts?

 

[Charlie_]

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..

 

[Pete999]

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.

 

[David999]

I think it will Charlie because I know the regs. And so long as I conform to the regs I can wire up the garage from the ring

 

[DPG]

Sorry to ask, but if you know the regs, why are you asking very basic questions on here?

 

[David999]

Spoon thanks actually I did mention earlier on in the thread that there is no RCD in the house CU

You must be the only one who does, know the Regs I mean.

Ok mate.. Forgot about that.

 

[Spoon]

Have you had a work with the customer about the limitations of only having 13A in his garage?
Is he happy with just 13A?

 

[David999]

DPG thanks because I want a tidy job in the garage so would like to know how you guys would go about it if you were not wiring up to CU. But it appears that most of you wouldn't do this job unless wiring from CU

 

[David999]

Pete999 didn't get that

 

[Charlie_]

Obvious what’s going on here..
Spur off existing circuit, only need to do a MWC, therefore no need to open the can of worms in the house..

 

[Charlie_]

Have you agreed costs with your customer?

 

[David999]

Spoon I did several times and again today. He said he was happy with LED lights and that he would have a kettle and a fridge. And I said what about in winter with heater etc. However I checked his ring and there is not much on it. They have very little going on in the house.

Make sure you have that is writing/email, so if he complains later on you are covered.
