Nah the only reason I ask mate is my daughter writes basically the same as you and she is dyslexic.

The existing swa cable is 6mm and runs 15 meters

Are you 100% sure about that - I'd be very surprised.

Hello

Im looking at adding electricity to my garage. The armoured cable is already in place but its just connected to a 16amp Circuit breaker in the house CU and then just a plug socket in the the garage.

I understand thats not right

Looks perfectly OK to me. Is there an RCD in the house CU? If the answer is yes you don't need or want another in the garage.

For a light in the garage spur off the socket to a switched fuse spur unit with a 5 amp fuse.

I don't think the OP is a spark judging by their input ........ so dishing out "advice" like this isn't ideal..............
