[QUOTE="MikeYardleyPro, post: 507840, member: 33643"] Hi all, I am getting an electrician to do couple of double sockets in my garden. There will be swa cable buried. I will run couple of 2kw heaters and some led lights from it. From what I have read, this needs a minimum 4mm cable. my electrician tells me he will extend the ring in my living room and this will allow amperage to 32amp (instead of 13 if it was a spur and that can only suppor 1 heater) However, he will use 2.5mm cable and thats fine. He also told me the cable has 19amp rating. is this ok? Since the cable will be buried under concrete, I want to be 100% sure. i dont know if quotes can be discussed here but would a quote of £400 looks ok to you with 40m swa cable and 2 double sockets. thanks a lot in advance.
