I am having a 7m by 4m extension built. The builder is putting up the shell to make it water tight and i will be doing the rest
I am going to do the wiring myself and then get an electrician to put in a new consumer unit and to also sign it off for building control.
All the wiring in the extension is going to be on seperate fuses in the comsumer unit. I have rewired a previous house so i know some stuff
we will be having 7 sockets inside with one external socket. How do i wire this in with a switch on the inside to turn it off? Do i use a fused switch?
For lighting we are going to have downlighters, I have been recommended to have one every metre which means 18 downlights, (these are going to have 3 switchs to turn different sections on/off). Is this too many or not enough lights. There will also be 3 wall lights
We are also going to have 2 ceiling fans (without lights) and 2 outside wall lights (the sensor types). Will all these lights/fans be ok on one fuse in the consumer unit or should i put them on 2 fuses
In addition we are planning to have lights in the garden. I am going to put this on a seperate fuse. For this i have been told to use armoured cable. How deep does this have to be dug and how to i wire in a switch. Would a junction box be ok (wired in the same as the lights in the house) or does it have to be different?
Thanks
