WHICH WIRE DO I SNIP?

[andyboyo]

Now that i have your attention you bomb squad wannabees

my house has an overhead supply
I want to run electric into the garage and dont want to come through the house (there doesnt seem to be any room for another MCB).

Is it a possibility or is my brother talking out of his arse....to spur off the main overhead feed to supply the garage???

if so any ideas on who i phone for isolation, cost, legalitys etc

is my brother talking out of his a**e....

He is indeed. Don't go touching anything upstream from the main fuse to your property.

I should leave it.

Useful info on how not to kill yourself.

Not everyone will realise how dangerous it is to mess with the incoming service.

So why not go back out of the house from the vicinity of the service head, and then to the garage

Yes, it's possible, but it's not even a job for a proper electrician, let alone DIY..

Your DNO.

As a stab in the dark, expect the cost to be anything from several hundred to quite a few thousand, depending on distance.

And you'll end up paying 2 standing charges.
