Sparkys were happy to run it surface or in the ground but the client wanted it buried. BC wanted what I put in OP. Minimum 450mm, blinded, cable in, more blinding then warning tape, shingle and then back filled

Got some questions on regs for running a sub main to a garden room. I need to dig a trench for the sparkys to run a 10mm armoured cable from the existing board down to a garden room I am building. its a run of about 50m. Can the cable be surface mounted? if so does it need any further...

Thanks Lower - indeed she has been trying it on. I have said its not my problem. I explained there were three professionals in there before me: 1 - homebuyers survey surveyer 2 - the architect, who is a buildings surveyer 3 - Building Control for initial site survey None of these...

I drove past today and there is a fleet of different trade vans outside so work is still going on. I can't imagine she would be filling up the orginal five or so rooms whilst so much work is going on now. I think she has suffered a loss due to her new investment in extending the property and...

Thank-you Cajar, excellent post. The garage conversion was the last part of the job and by this time the BnB was operational as customers were present, even before we started the conversion. So, as I see it the property had become 'commercialised' by that time. Does that sound correct? I...
