[QUOTE="infaddict, post: 523265, member: 30373"] Hi guys, In very early planning of a possible garden room, to be built alongside my garage. I need to know the art of the possible around getting supply into the new room so looking for advice. I will of course get the pro's in to do the job, but just looking at what I can do or can't do with the limitations of my existing setup. I live in a 9 year old house with detached garage. The house consumer unit has a 16A MCB for "Garage" and a SWA cable runs out under my garden/patio into the garage. The garage has its own mini consumer unit, with MCB's for 6A Lights and 16A Sockets. I have photos of the consumer units/MCB's if needed. I really dont want to have to dig up my patio or driveway so hoping there is a solution via the existing SWA cable and feed new SWA from the garage along a short couple of metres to the new room. The garden room will be fully insulated, rubber roof, cedar clad, bi-fold type variety. It will be 4m x 3m and will have its own consumer unit. It will contain the following: - 2kw electrical heater - 3 x double sockets to power a laptop, monitor and exercise bike - 6 internal LED spotlights and 3 external LED spotlights What options do I have please? If needs be I could upgrade consumer units/MCB's etc just trying to avoid digging up my lovely patio or driveway to make this happen. Thanks in advance for any help. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
