Hi,
I’m new to the forum and am seeking some advice please.
I’ve picked up a job that another electrician has abandoned, the job is to ‘finish’ the electrics however there’s quite a bit to take in/check.
The original electrician has ran a 2.5 armoured to an outside garage but not connected up either end yet. The client was advised that one end of the cable would be connected up to an inside socket and the other end would be connected to a new CU in the garage!?
At the minute the client runs an extension lead from a double socket in the house to the garage which powers a lighting circuit, the garage door and plugs.
The client is adamant what he has been told by the previous electrician can be done however I’m questioning myself hence why I’m seeking advice. Is the previous electrician right to do this?
Every garage CU I’ve ever done has been powered via an armoured back to the main board. The client has spent a lot of money on the house and isn’t wanting any chasing done as not wanting to redecorate. Bit of help/advice would be great please.
Cheers.
