As you were all concerned, I thought I better update you... Fit this box this morning, properly terminated the armoured cable with a crimp to go to the earth wire. Got a 400v 32a terminal block inside.

Going to upgrade the T&E supply to a thicker gauge (6mm?) once it stops raining. And should come out of the house right below the box so should be neater and more convenient. Will screw it to the wall once it's all good of course. Again, thanks for the genuine comments and help, and the funny guys too.

Of course, it's not attached to the wall yet, just terminated the SWA to make sure I didn't need to buy anything else.
 
i'd bring the T/E back entry into the box. far neater.seal top and sides of box/brickwork with silicon after.
 
Yep I am keeping that option open but not sure where it's convenient to come out of the building yet as there is work happening inside, that's why I haven't attached it to the wall yet.
 
Not a hanging offence. I think it's only the NIC that mandate using the black core for the cpc. Nothing in the regs for single phase circuits using brown/black/grey cable for L, N & E, unless you know different. (Yes I know the sequence for three phase is defined.)
I think it came from the lighting industry Tel.
