Hi,
I have an existing outside power cable that is part of the main ring circuit in the house. I believe this is a spur off the main ring that was put in by the original builder (its a new build house). This has not been connected up to a socket, but merely exists as a cable housed in an external box that sits on the outside wall of the house (Media photos attached).
I could easily wire this up as an outdoor socket but what I would like to do is put some power in the garage which is 10m away from the house with my garden in between.
I intend to get an electrician to do most of the work (connecting up etc.) although I would do some of the grunt work such as digging the cable trench and putting the cable in and through the garage wall etc.
I would like to have a double power socket and power for lighting in the garage.
My questions are:
1. Is it possible to use the existing cable connection on the outside of the house to run the extra cable to the garage.
2. What are the actual steps of the work needed to be done & materials to be purchased (so I can ask the electrician the right qu's).
3. Rough cost estimate.
Thanks in advance for any help.
