Thanks Everyone Especially John. I don't suppose i could ask how much a ball park figure should an electrician be charging to change main switch to RCD and B16 to B20 Might have to just bite the bullet

Ok if i can switch the main switch off and change to a B20 i don't have problem even if it means i have to undo wires and put in new thing If using an RCD socket works thats fine to be honest the original socket is not even going to be used. Interesting as the house the CU in the box was...

Thanks John The whole thing seems like more hassle then it's worth all i wanted to do was put a treadmill in the garage Now i'm needing electrician what a pain

Ok thanks John So the Main switch would be the red bit in the consumer box but how is that replaced with power coming in ? No idea who pays the bill i'd hope it be the company who fleeces us for Money and does very little. I've checked the CU in the house it has 2 RCD in it and a load...

Ok you guys are losing me now i'm not an electrician. I was just going to run the whole thing of an extension cable :)

No idea where CU is supplied from. I've been lead to believe by the neighbours that all the garages on the estate are supplied from a common source and not from the House as all garages are detached from properties This could be true as some peoples garage could be like 200 yards from...

Hi Guys Thanks you've been very helpful. I don't think there is a RCD in the CU to make it easier i've added two pictures of CU and the actual current circuit Looks like the Socket cable is 4mm as it's ticker then the light one which does look 2.5mm

Thanks for the response i thought i'd mentioned most in 1st post anyway There is a consumer Box in the Garage with two breakers which read B6 which is for Light Switch and B16 for the 1 double socket already in garage. In terms of wiring from Consumer box goes a wire to the Double Socket...

Hi Guys I've been given a bag of Finish Plaster. And i'm not sure if i should jsut spread over my new garden bed which has no plants in it. I've read adding gypsum (Plaster) helps heavy soils which i do have, but i don't want to destroy my hard work by doing the wrong thing. I mean if...

Hi The fence at the back of the house has a dozen or so knot holes. Which i'd like to repair as they are at eye level and just peeping holes. It's a wooden fence put up by the home builders. Once filled the fence will be painted / preserved One idea i had thinking that it might...

Hi Just moved into a house and i've found the lawn to be very wet even after a couple of days of no rain. There seems to be a couple of things at play 1) Not all the lawn catches the sun so it's probably wetter in the shades. 2) The soil seems to be clay like and hard. 3) One of the...
