Hi All
Would sincerely appreciate some advice please on the following: had an electrician rewire the garage. Installed 2 double metal clad sockets and 2 2-way metal clad light switches all wiring hidden in 20mm conduit.
The electrician used 2.5mm cable for sockets/32A mcb and 1.5mm cable (3 and 4 core) for light switches/3A FCU.
There were 2 electricians and one was an apprentice and I overheard them arguing about placing t&e into conduit and the apprentice suggested the use of single core cable. I don't know anything about wiring, cables or conduits.
They had 1 x 2.5mm cable from the consumer unit to the 1st socket then another 2.5mm cable from the 1st socket to the second socket/there was no return.
For the lighting they used a 2.5mm cable from the 1st socket and into a FCU (3amp) and then a 1.5mm cable to the light.
For the 2 way switches they used 1.5mm 3 and 4 core cable. In some places the 2.5mm and 1.5mm cable run together in conduit. There are 2 bends for socket cabling/3 meters cable length and about 4 bends for lighting cabling/5 meters length.
All I wanted to know was have they wired the garage correctly as their disagreement on the use of t&e has made me think twice and when I asked them they just said everything is fine no need to worry.
Thank you.
