Hi
I am building a new detached garage with a single room art studio above it. I have removed the original prefab garage, disconnected the socket and lighting twin& earth cables from the house consumer and removed them from where they were just buried in the soil with no protection ?
I have dug a deep trench from house to garage and buried a trunking marked up with appropriate electrical warnings along its length.
I will run a 30 or 40 amp Cable from the house to the garage and then get a certified electrician to install a separate circuit breaker in the house and a new consumer unit in the garage from where the garage and studio lighting will be connected.
My question is this, can the certified electrician break the seal on the electronic meter in the house and add in a new pair of tails to feed the new circuit breaker or will I have to get the electric company to send out an engineer ?
