Hi,
I’m not an electrician so seeking advice as to whether my requests were actions correctly or if I need to arrange for additional / remedial work to be done.
During the first fix of a renovation I told the electricians working on my project that I planned to put an office / studio in the garden at a later date & could they run something outside that would be suitable. They told me that they’d install an external socket and that any connection could be spurred off that for an office constructed at a later date.
I am now in the process of getting quotes for the studio and not sure if the external socket will be enough? The renovation isn’t quite finished so although it would be a real pain to run another cable from the fuse box it would be easier to do it now rather than later.
I attach pictures of the cables that are running to the outside as well as the external socket (this one OA036AG) . We would be planning to have a couple of 230v sockets (charging laptops etc) and some lights.
Would be grateful for any advice,
Nikki
