Thanks all. Yes I feel now that I would be best to employ someone rather than get what may be hassle later. I always prefer the DIY route, espescially given the probs caused by the electricians who worked for me before, but I also don't want an unsafe and poss problematic installation for the...

Yes, rather odd both kitchen and garage are on same breaker considering the spare capacity in CU. They were separate on the old wire fused unit up till two 'electricians' wired my downstairs power and light circuits., leaving behind other issues too numerous to bore everyone on this site with...

Thanks again.The existing feed to garage is from a 32A breaker on my consumer unit using 4 mm Armoured cable. There is then a 2 way CU with a 30A and 5A in garage from which is run 1 single and 1 double socket and 3 lights. It is my intention to then continue this run to shed using 4mm armoured...

Thank you so much again for your advice, I will certainly take on board what you say.

Sorry to be a...

I want to fit 2 double sockets and 2 strip lights in a 12' x 10' shed from my garage, a run of approx 20 feet. The garage already has a 2 way consumer unit to power 2 double sockets which power washer and drier, and 3 lights fed- on a radial circuit - from a 10 way consumer unit in the house. I...
