    Upgrading my garage supply.

    Midwest, where you you at the start? An answer like this is all that I really wanted. I was looking for the builder to give me anything in the way of an upgrade. You may find this hard to believe but I am a sparks, started life as a Mining Electrician many moons ago. Got my qualifications...

    Sarcastic, not helpful. hence dislike. Already mentioned and discounted due to work involved, not helpful. Hence dislike.

    Mate, depends how much you class as a majority. I have no problem with answers about regs and I don't believe any disagreed with what I asked or planned other than they frowned on the doubling up of the RCD protection. Asking questions like why and how many sockets do you need isn't helpful...

    Upgrading my garage supply.

    I see this post is still going. First off thanks to all that offered genuine help. Murdoch, you are right I did invite comments, my mistake I should've said "helpful comments please". The last suggestion doesn't work as I don't want an ugly CU in my kitchen and the supply to the garage is...

    Spoon, thanks. To be fair if you read the original post again, the info is there and the questions are there. Will have to agree to disagree.

    Thanks Dave, It took a lot of work to get there so thanks for your clear definitive answer. If others would have done this rather than go off on tangents as to why I wanted more sockets etc we would've been done a lot sooner and I wouldn't have needed to sound like a bolshy git, which I'm not...

    Upgrading my garage supply.

    Murdoch, with the greatest of respect you have failed to answer my original question, other than raising pointless questions that have no bearing. Don't worry about whether I can manage to get the builders to sort it, that's my problem and I've not failed yet. Just confirm or deny whether they...

    Upgrading my garage supply.

    Your focusing on the wrong things. I want sockets where they suit my requirements, as in a couple above a bench, one double at each corner of the garage for convenience etc. I'm not growing weed in my garage and wont be running effing big grow lamps! I'm aware I have 13amps to use. Its not easy...

    Upgrading my garage supply.

    My apologies I don't use this forum very often and I think ive hit "quote in conversation" rather than reply. My mistake sorry. I just wanted to tidy up the install and provide separate circuits to wire from in the garage rather than the all on the 13amp spur in the house. It would just seem...

    Why not, surely a lighting fault will trip a 6a MCB before a 13amp fuse?

    Thanks Tele. So what about DP isolation at the spur, I know its a nice to have to totally isolate outside, but is it a must that they should've supplied this or not?

    Why not, its my garage?

    Please don't state the obvious, not helpful.

    Upgrading my garage supply.

    Hi Kenny, thanks for the first sensible answer. When you say should be earthed, I thought the same but does it have to be earthed as if it does I can have the builder on that? I know about the 13a supply but again do they have to provide DP isolation on the spur or is this a nice to have? The...
