Sorry if this topic is covered elsewhere I couldn't find something quite the same.
My question if you don't mind is :-
I'm converting part of my attached garage to living accommodation for my parents. They will in effect have a two bedroom flat attached to my house. I'm hoping to supply their flat from my supply and put a separate consumer unit in their flat somewhere to provide the normal discrimination.
My questions are:-
1, Should I take this feed from my consumer unit with a spare way ?
if so what size MCB etc should it be?
Or should I connect it to a separate isolator and have the rcd / elcb in their consumer unit.
2, What size cable would I need. It is about 20 m and will be in the roof space but free from insulation clipped to the rafters.
thanks for reading and any advice you can provide.
