Hi all
Have used this forum a number of times in the past and am now back for some further good advice, I have found the past help invaluable in planning work etc.
We are about to build a workshop in the garden which is away from the house, early nest year we are building a large extension on the rear of the property (bare with me guys), and currently we are about to have work done on the two bathrooms.
The Meter and distribution box etc is over the front door at front of the house.
My question is:
Whilst the ceilings are down in the bathroom downstairs, I will be able to see clearly down the rafter void of the hallway to the meter etc.
I intend to get an electrician in to do the work for this but would it be easier to run a cable down the rafter void to the mcb area so a sparky can pull through and connect later, this will be the power line to the new workshop, so if this is the case:
Does it need to be armoured cable back to the meter and then out to the workshop or can it be standard cable to the back of the house and then connected during the extension build to armoured cable nearer the exit point of the rear of the property using a suitable box etc etc.
Cable will be burried etc as per regs whilst parking area paviers is raised for the new build.
Appreciate this might be difficult to visualise so any further info to clarify please let me know..
Thanks again for any support here.
Cheers
