As you will see from my other post my electrics are less than ideal in my house including a half melted 5amp fuse with something much thicker wrapped round it, I need to rewire (and new CU). I have contacted 3 separate companies now (from the yellow pages) and none of them have bothered to ring...

Indeed the outcome of this is that for now it is not worth attempting this until I have a decent CU installed in the house. Either at the same time or Once that is up and running I will get the feed to the garage. You'll see another post on that subject coming up :wink:
