I have a 4mm2 SWA cable already but not installed.
The run to the garage going up the wall outside the house to the consumer and to the consumer in the garage is about 8m
At the moment I have 2 lights and 4 2 gang sockets in the garage.
I used to use it with 4mm2 cable. To power lawn mover, edge trimmer and some power tools, along with a tumble drier. Obviously not all at the same time. Usually 2-3 of these on at a time (Dryer, Lawn mover and drill)
1. In the future I would like to put a fridge and freezer in there too. Will 4mm2 be enough or should I go for 6mm2 or higher?
2. Can I bring the cable through the floor of the garage?
3. Is it worth investing in conduit and what would be suitable if I could get from screwfix, B&Q or wickes?
Thank you for you time.
