Great thanks Conny, so you pull a cord together with the 1st cable and leave it in, I was genuinely wondering how it was done. Easy when you know! Any special kind of cord? Nylon fishing line?

You'd wrap the mdpe pipe in insulation at 800mm? Ok better safe than sorry. I thought about running CH to the outbuilding but declined in the end. Thanks Wayners.

Yep done the sums close to 300 quid inc vat for 25M !!!!!! sob! Thanks for the advice.

Thanks for your reply chivers67. Not many other replies lol. Looks like I will fill up to the warning tape with sand.

I'm about to bury armoured cable, armoured ethernet cable and mdpe water pipe running from my house then under a kitchen extension, under patio and lawn to an outbuilding, total distance about 20m. The posts I've read here only seem to consider the electric cable but not the water pipe together...

Yes it was worth it! Thanks

Inventive idea if you can afford it lol!!!!!! Clearing that slop is one nasty job!!!!!!

Thanks, yes he said sand and cement! Concrete dry lean does sound better though! Yes 1st scrape the muck and any soil that may have fallen in then lay the dry lean mix. What sand/cement or concrete ratio should the mix be? Thanks

I've dug a footing 1m deep from ground level for a kitchen extension but hit the water table. Overnight the bottom of the footing has about 5-8cm of surface water coming through! If I remove this water one day the following day water has returned. I spoke to the building inspector today and he...

Thanks, very good point, I have a friendly neighbour who is a sparky and made him aware of my project!

Yes agree about building control, it's an art studio for now!!!!!!!! Wow! Your build was amazing, I will definitely bookmark the link for reference! Well done!

Thanks Mr Chibs, yes I've seen 16mm used I presume it was 3 core?

Thanks for the reply Blub. Maybe I was wrong calling the building an outhouse but I intend installing electric heating and water so I feel 4mm swa is too low, I was thinking 10 - 16mm, I might install an electric hob later also. I'm building a 5m x 5m brick studio and I wont be using gas. As for...

Hi, I'm building a granny annex/art studio in my back garden and need some advice on how to connect the Utilities (electrics and water) from the our main building to the annex, approx 20M away. The water/electric and the drainage are in two separate trenches. I found the following videos on YT...

Thanks a lot! Cheers!

@ianmcd Thanks, silly me, sorted! Up and running. Sorry for the trouble guys. Embarrassing! When you don't know, you don't know! Well I learned other things on the way, that's good lol.
