Garage feed... through house or straight to CU externally?

[Sam Clayton]

So what's the IDEAL way to feed a garage?
The choices are:
10m SWA run from garage to house, junction box and then nice big fat T&E through the house (a further 15m) to the CU (green)
Or
25m SWA run direct from the garage to the external wall next to the CU and straight in with no junctions. (blue)

What do you recon guys? What's the BEST way to do it (not cheapest or least effort)

Without having a joint is the best way. Or course it is also preferable to avoid cables clipped on the outside of your house.

In answer to the question... the 'best' way would be a continious run of SWA all the way and concealed within the house.... That may or not be possible in your case though!

Well that would certainly avoid the need for a deep trench all the way across the front of the house to put the swa in!
