a relative of mine has recently bought a property that has to say the least not had a lot done to it since the 60s !
The most immediate area of concern is a wooden buiding 100 mtrs from the house this building is a workshop and room with the swimming pool filter and pump, lots of lights and sockets. Its electricity is supplied by a what appears to be a standard cable the type you would find on an extension cable, from a 13amp socket outside the house !
I suggested this might not be an ideal arrangement. ??
would a solution be to run 6mm armoured cable (2 core ?) and put an earth rod in ? Then a consumer unit with RCD protection for all sockets and lights ?
Any thoughts welcome, many thanks.
