Great idea!! Thanks for all the help but my head is now ringing ha ha!! I only thought of a 40A as when I googled garage consumer units most had that or a 63A. Because all I need is one light and maybe two double sockets for the chest freezer etc, I knew it would be more likely the 40A...

You're a star!!

Thanks for the pdf. Spoke to my mate who said 4mm 3 core. Digging the drive up in the next couple of weeks so will do it then. Would I need to marker tape the duct (if used)?

Hi All, I am fitting a shower with the remote taps cut into the wall and have all the bits but the 90 degree adapter that comes out of the wall for the shower hose to connect to. Does this have a special name and what is it called? Thanks in advanced

Theres me thinking it would be a good idea to pull the cable in myself while doing the drive. Will ask my mate, see if a crate of beer softens the blow. I assume the cable will have to be buried a certain depth? Is that under your working codes or just building regs? Does it matter that it is...

That's like us believing that you're not doing this job yourself! :lol: Ha ha, no I have a friend who is a qualified spark (i think) but doesnt do it for a living. Just want to be sure I am asking the right things and not get my leg lifted.

Not sure I understand, just "googled" garage power and have seen most consumer units are a 32 and a 6. I doubt I would need a lot for power as mentioned all I really need it for is the chest freezer and occasional power tools.

Hi All, Looking to run in a SWA to my garage whilst the driveway is up. Run is 20m tops (including up and down the wall bits) and will be buried most of the way apart from a few feet of cleats. I am looking to get a "Garage" consumer unit fitted eventually with a 40A RCD and a 32A and 6A MCB...

Is that the thumping noise you sometimes get when turning taps off etc? Haven't heard it in this house but had it really bad in the old house.

Yes I can shut it off in the street.

"It'll possibly be 1/2" compression if the house was built before 1972/72 as that's when we went metric in copper sizes" Deeds say 1971. It does have 1/2" in raised lettering on the side of the stop cock. I put the tape measure there to show scale thinking it might help. Would it be...

I thought that myself but when someone else says you start to doubt yourself!! Why is it you always seem to get scalded when you have soap in your eyes?!?

The cooker unit will be going next to this so I will have the whole of the small cupboard beneath to play with. Thanks for the advice!!

Had a Worcester 28i boiler fitted in place of an old one and will be redoing the bathroom anytime soon. I will be looking to fit a power shower in place of the old one however someone said that thermostatic showers don’t react quickly enough to changes i.e. if someone flushes the loo etc...

Ha ha, I did think of walking straight back out if the shop assistant's face resembled a pizza! Is there such thing as a BSP to 15mm stop cock? Is it OK to leave the old one on and fit a new one after? Just worried that if it fails it would be a pain to sort, even though its probably been...

Hello All, Having our kitchen refitted and looking to replace the stop cock before putting the new unit next to it and cutting a hole in the side so it still remains accessible. The house was built c.1970 and the stop cock is (as far as I am told) ½” BSP type. The water main that comes in...
