Hi,
I'm converting an integral garage in my bungalow to a bedroom and a small workshop - workshop literally a 1.5m deep space behind the existing roller garage door which will stay.
There's enough existing sockets in the garage to serve the bedroom section and one double socket in the workshop space - which would do most of the time but I'll also brew beer every couple of weeks in there and this means a 2.4kW heater element, a 3kW heater element and a standard domestic kitchen extractor hood possibly running at same time for a period of 1 - 2 hours and there's already 2 fridges in there. So I could do with another set of sockets anyway but should I take the plunge and get an Electrician in to run an extra circuit? There's a new consumer unit already showing individual MCB's for "Kitchen Sockets, Study Sockets, Hall Socket, General Sockets, Outside Sockets"and with a spare available - it's only a 3 bed now 4 bed small / medium sized bungalow.
For various reasons its a bit of a faff getting someone out to have a look, but happily will do if its deemed worthwhile / necessary to keep the place compliant / safe.
Thanks in advance - a few free pints of homebrew to any extra helpful answers
