The 6mm I bought from Screwfix (Prysmian) says it is rated to 32A. The cable at the moment is run all the way in 6mm and on a 32A mcb. If I could get away with a 50A mcb then I would be ok.

Thanks you for the quick reply. Sorry I may have not described it very well. I am proposing to have 2x 6mm t+e from cu to external wall. Then changing to a single run of 10mm swa from wall to outbuilding. I would then assume that because the 6mm in parallel will both run the same length...

We recently bought a house and have noticed the first course of bricks above the patio doors have come away from the course above. The mortar joint is cracked the whole width of the door. After removing a few bricks it appears there is no lintel on the outer brick wall. There is a lintel in the...
