This is my first post. I found this forum by accident - wish i'd seen it years ago
I have a detached garage in which electricity supllies a metclad double socket via a garage consumer unit (installed by a qualified electrician last year). A spur comes from the socket to supply a fluorescent lighting via a 20A DP switch.
I want to run a separate light circuit from the 6A MCB which will supply the existing fluorescent light and run to another fluorescent light at the other end of the garage, and possibly to a new light I'd like to install on the outside wall.
i'm then considering extending a radial circuit from the double socket to give me another 2 double sockets at the other end of the garage (one for for the tumble dryer and freezer, the other for power tools, mower etc).
I consider myself a competent DIY'er and feel confident doing the work myself. However, after reading a few of the other posts I'm wondering if I should be doing this myself or getting a qualified electrician (you know, regs and those kinds of considerations).
Anyone know where I stand or any opinion on what I'm proposing to do?
