How to install a electric Garage supply and new circuits. -electrician Warwickshire 

It's amazing what they still do today let's not forget that when we comment on old installs

Hooked on the content. Thanks for the discovery of the earth connection nut with internal threads for grub screws + flying lead. A nice tidy technique to finish the connection in more ways than one.

Excellent! One of the most informative videos I've seen. One hopefully simple question which I hope will be a yes or no answer. I am planning to build a new log cabin in the garden with power and lighting for any number of potential future uses. I have a 1930's property with likely a 1960's fuse box. Some electrical diy has been done, I believe to a reasonable standard but not to today's regulations. In all my 50 years in the property there have never been any electrical faults I've needed to call an electrician for. The question is, can I get a new independent feed to the log cabin, with isolator in the house and consumer unit in the cabin done to current specifications WITHOUT touching / testing the pre-existing house wiring? Or does the whole property have to conform to current standards?

How’s it going, I’m not a sparks now but I’m wondering why you need an earth rod when you could connect the earth back to the main board in the house via the cable that’s feeding the board in the shed?

❤great job 😊

Love your work. Good for me. 😁

Your right in what you say most electricians , can tell with a visable inspection if it needs a rewire , or new consumer unit .. yes some do need testing but imo 1960s / 1970s / 1980s will need work on them infact I have seen lead cables still in use .. I have been a spark for over 40 years , I’ve seen all sorts. New switches / sockets to hide what is behind them . And imo it is a lot easier and less expensive , and safer to replace . Than to repair Testing is all well and good but if I walk in a house flat etc I can normally tell if it needs replacing especially in older properties .

What size fly lead do you put to the swa nut on gland nut ? Would you normally match it to size of conductors in swa mate ?

Great video. Do what size armoured would you recommend for 40m run to garden room powering 4 double sockets and a leccy rad. Also do you have recommendations for consumer unit?

With you earthing the armoured from the house and then an earth from the earth spike is that ok with an earth from the house used on the armourd? Cheers

Great video, was wondering is that a 6mm t+e out of the house connected to a 6mm swa via wiska box?

What a top like you are! I wish I’d been your apprentice!

You have a pleasant manner and some nice videos, thank you. Do you not have to put the T&E cable coming out of the CU in protective conduit?

Would you say its better to have the t+e coming out of the house into a weatherproof junction to the swa, or have a junction inside the house and run the swa through the wall?

Your meant to trun the erthing nut the other way once you have scratched away the paint. You get a better earth contact. When your using a plastic boxs you can put it that way. Keep up the good work mate I am enjoying it 👍

What size armoured did you use for the garage and what breaker from the house

What's thickness Armoured cable is best from house to garage please Great video many thanks.

Hi mate, thinking of installing a EV 7KW Charging port, preferably want to put a two way consumer unit with RCBO to other side of cellar form main supply. Would I need long tails or armoured cable for second consumer unit inside the house and what size? . Distance is 10metres, plz advise? Don't worry work will be carried out by qualified electrician but I wanna do prep work to save on costs.

why are cables buried and not on show.?

Good work buddy. I've subsrcibed. Does the armoured run to the board in the house or does it join at the wall to unarmoured?

After u finished u said testing what is it u use to test the work you done

I thought that was a HUGE rat on top of the fridge at 17:15! It was the top of your mates head😂

I'm a bit confused about consumer units, and apologies in advance if this is a silly question, or if it was answered in the vid: I need a CU in my garage, and obviously I have a main CU in the house, so will the electrician take a power feed from the existing consumer unit into the garage, or does the new feed have to come from the meter box?

help l going to have my new shed wire up with a new consumer unit and use armoured cable to get the power to it as it be used as a work shop lets say 3 LED lights 6amp ,, 4 double power socket a two single socket 13amp what would be the best armoured cable 2.5 or bigger . its about 7 mts, from my house consumer unit to garage and the best consumer unit for garage don`t panic l get a fully qualified to do the job as l want a certificate after he tested it out

Need to know what size armour cable i need running 15m to bar/summer house down the bottom of the garden i will be fitting 5 double sockets and led lighting ty

How to do get the supply

Where can I get one of those Dewalt hover drills 🤣

Are you adding 2 earth potentials having an earth rod and an cpc in the and off the swa?

Maybe should have run condui to light and socket rather than clipping

Probably an idea to put "In the UK " in the description not that US and Australian accents arn't indistinguishable from UKs
