hi all
I am looking to have my garage,workshop and shed rewired, I have had a look at what my houses previous owner had done and and the shock of my life when I looked at it basicaly a total bodge up I need some help with what needs to be done.
Here is the current setup my house has a new cu running from that to my single garage is a 5 core armored cable looks like 2.5mm, he has doubled up to pairs of 2.5mm ( I know i did say bodge ) in the single garage is a really old cu that that has a double socket running off it and a light tube know idea of any fuse values here, from the single garage runs again another 5 core cable to my workshop approx 25m away in here is another old cu 5 tuble lights and approx 10 double sockets in a ring the shed which is attached to the workshop currently has now power.
My Requirements are
Single garage 2m from house - light and double plug all it that will be used here is for power to my pond pump and for my mower when I cut the grass
Worshop 25m from house - this has a fridge ( For Beer ) but this workshop is used for working on cars so I regualy used a mig welder air compressor and various power tools although none of these are used at the same time I need about 10 sockets and 6 tuble lights .
Shed attached to workshop - just a light
what size SWA will be needed?
Do i need to have 2 seperate feeds from the house?
Thanks for your time
