It fell under a previous notification. Back story is that my builder/leccy ran this cable from the CU (disconnected) for a future annex/lean-to. It's just a 4mm cable coming out the wall that I'm trying to figure out how to wire to sockets etc.

It's the wrong colour, yes. Colour aside, it's fit for purpose?

Agreed. It is the blue stuff I have leftover, but I'm marking it up across the length with green tape and labelling it across the short length.

Apologies, I missed a detail there. The 4mm feed is already laid and the office is actually attached to the house - it's a side extension/annex.

That's right. I'm going to use light strips (hue) that plug into the wall.

Thanks all. The Wagos are the ones rated for 4mm cable to 32A. The MDPE is just to shield the cable from the elements and rodents, running in open air under the joists.

Thanks. There's underfloor heating (wet) and the AC is fed from the condenser which is on a separate 6mm feed (professionally installed).

Thanks, so that needs to be a 20A MCB. Presumably that will be sufficient for those sockets/load?

Hi, Is it okay to wire a radial circuit like this? All 4mm apart from the fused spur to light. No length >3m except the initial CU -> Wago. Cable will be running through 25mm MDPE piping below floor (open air). Use is for a garden office. TV/Computer/Monitors.

Well, probably not. I know the electrics are probably fine, I have the EICR from the installation. And they did do the actual inspection, just inflated a couple of items to try and extort me for the "repairs". I'd rather not be involved tbh. Will just arrange with another firm.

Yeh, it was all ********. They sent me a quote for £250 to earth the backbox and swap out the socket. I flipped out and left a bad review, which they then offered to reclassify the C2's as C3's if I take down. Scam company.

That's correct. No trip when using the socket.

Hi, Had an eicr done recently and they flagged two C2's. Backbox not earthed on a particular socket - easy fix Socket behind TV causes RCD to trip - this could be a loose or messy cabling, but can anyone advise how easy this is to diagnose? How can this be tested given the socket works fine...
