No it's an external door not connected to the house

I'm looking to add a composite door to provide alternative access to my garage. Is there a minimum height above ground level that's recommended? I would like to have a gap of 80mm, then the cill and door. There is a soak away round the garage already. Are there any potential issues with this?

That's great thanks for your help. The walls are dot and dab so hopefully I can feed the new cables though the gaps. I am building a media wall (wooden frame and plasterboard). The electric fire will be fitted in to this.

The electric fire will be inbuilt so it isn't a FCU but an isolation switch. Diagram attached hopefully it will make things clearer. Blue - Existing Sockets Green - New Sockets Red - Isolation Switch

Hi, I am looking at adding a door to access my garage from the rear garden. It is a new build property built in 2016. It is a single skin brick wall as the pictures show. I assume a lintel will need installed above the new door. Apart from that is there any other work required to allow this? I...

Can anyone recommend a company to supply a UPVC door? I'm looking to add one to my garage so it will be a basic design. Thanks

Yes it used to work fine. There's a double switch upstairs which controls the hall and landing lights. This hasn't been changed.

I’m hoping someone can give me some guidance to wire a double light switch. I was swapping it over and I’ve ended up unable to turn the downstairs hall light off from the upstairs landing switch. The double light switch is used for the downstairs hall light and an external light. There is a...
