Feeding LogCabin from Shed CU

[KashBag]

Hi guys,

I have supplied my Shed with a 6mm SWA cable into a nice consumer unit. In there I have a 6Amp MCB for the lights and a 16 A supplying a single socket for a freezer unit. I also have an additional 32 Amp (idle).
Now I have a log cabin 10m away. I am going to install a new consumner unit in the LogCabin and feed it from the 32 Amp MCB via a 4mm SWA cable. This Log cabin CU will have the same stuff (perhaps a 16Amp RCBO for 2 Radial sockets and a 6 Amp RCBO for lighting.


Regardless of it being notifiable etc , any suggestions objections are welcome.

Thanks!

Another satisfied punter encouraged to disregard wiring and building regulations on an electrician's forum.

DIY forums probably pay more heed to regulatory requirements.

Thanks, reason for not involving an electrician in the physical job is as follows:
1. I do not wish to spend £2000 on something I can do myself.
2. If possible, I would like to do the job base on a registered electrician's recommendation and his supervision (paid), which may also allow me to get my experience assessed for registration with a professional body like NAPIT.

I have the qualifications (full NVQ from Denmark, Industrial, Commercial and Residential) + UK 18th Edition, Part P and testing.

Yet here you are asking for advice on your proposed design.

Sorry mate, I would't want to pay 2 K for sign off, I meant the complete installation + Materials etc. For certification test I already have a quote £180. . Just a bit of supervision here is all I need because I have been away from this business for 25 years now

Why aren't you asking the person you have the £180 quote from?

Few electricians will sign off 3rd party work

I'm sure there are quite a few who are registered with the TCP scheme that would look at signing off 3rd party work, otherwise they wouldn't have signed up to do so.

Do you know what percentage of scheme registered electricians are registered to sign off 3rd party work? Even better would be a poll of how many those are prepared to sign off 3rd party work in which they've had no involvement during the design or installation stages.

My comment wasn't based on empirical evidence, rather an opinion based on general concensus of views read here and elsewhere. If you have any evidence based information on this subject I'd certainly be interested in reading it.
