I would like to know if I could fit an additional Consumer Unit supply power for our new conservatory from my meter board tails or upgrade my existing Garage Consumer Unit to supply power for our conservatory and outdoor electrics .
It's a BIG Garden and Conservatory!
I've had a few electricians quote for the job but I want to get a heads up on what can and cannot be done as I've been told by one that I cannot have the Consumer Unit in my utility room.
Also I'm looking to do the rest of the wiring my self such as sockets etc as just want the consumer unit to be installed by an electrician as I've taken a supply form my lounge 13amp socket to provide external outdoor power and lighting to areas in my garden.
Our conservatory is to have:
9 x 13 amp double sockets
1 x 60 watt Energy Saving ceiling light
1 x 13 amp Fused Spur for underfloor heating and thermostat
Garden :
10 x 11 watt outdoor garden post lights
1 x 32 amp supply for Hot tub
5 x 13 amp outdoor double sockets
Garden Shed:
1 x 11 watt Light
1 x 13 amp double socket
Ideally I would like to know if the Consumer Unit could be sited in my utility room within an existing Wall cupboard which is approx. 5.2 metres away my meter board.
Here's a breakdown of my electrics

MEM Isolator switch which can accept 10-50mm² cables
