Hi all,
I am thinking about putting in a garden office, however i have seen different solutions for getting electrics to it.
The house CU is at the front and its a terraced house, it would be very troublesome to chase a new feed/ring into the shed.
I did see on here someone posted a link to autumn wiring matters article and it indicated that i could take the source of power from the existing downstairs ring? Is this advisable. I already have a socket quite close to the patio doors that is intended for portable outside equipment, can i take the power from here?
I am planning to run the following items in the office: Computer, printer, screen, TV (LCD), wall mounted convection heater and some lights. I was going to use 4mm T&E SWA through a gutter pipe at least 400mm deep.
Also i am more than confident to do the work myself, how to i get it certified without paying a sparky?
look forward to your replies.
