Hi,
Currently in process of building home office in our garden, not far from garage which already has power (approx 10 meters). Garage in turn is approx 25 meters or so from our house consumer unit.
We are looking for quotes to run a underground cable from garage to office - and if its actually possible to run power from our garage.
I am now asking electricians to quote however I would like some advice first on if this is even possible to connect to our garage or would a new run to the house be required?
I suspect the fuse board in the garage would need to be upgraded?
We would like to get power to the home office, for approx 2 wall sockets and a couple of lights.
Garage has 2 x double sockets, and 2-3 strip lights, an outside sensor light with isolator switch.
Any comments or advice on what can be done would be greatly appreciated so I know whats possible /to be expected when we get a quote.
House consumer unit with garage connection highlighted in red :
Garage fuse board: I suspect this needs to be updated to allow another connection to the home office? and to bring it up to modern standards?
The illuminated isolation switch at bottom of photo is for our sensor light, I think the 15A blue fuse is for the power sockets in garage.
