Discuss Type of cable to outbuilding but on bricks. in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
I’ve honestly never come across this type of cable
Its pretty tough stuff! unless you swing a sword like a saudi executioner then once clipped to a wall you would not easily get a nail or spade through it. The outer rubberised sheath is good stuffWhat about mechanical protection?
Where does the cable originate and what is it feeding ?Hi.
I am going to to new circuit at customer's dwelling and best way is to to do it outside of the house but laying cable on mortar/bricks.
Can I use twin&earth cable and use trunking or only armoured cable.
Thanks
Mac
What about mechanical protection?
Yes I agree with Murdoch, can you enlighten us pleaseWhat do you mean by laying her on bricks and mortar

Most of us would think that . It is part of the journey.I had a vision in my head of it lying on a line of bricks placed on the ground. It's been a long day
Yeah…..'laying on bricks and mortar' got me thinking, too.Most of us would think that . It is part of the journey.
Really? How bad is your driving then, bloody women driversAs @Gavin John Hyde says, it's tough stuff, but you have to use your loaf and only use it where appropriate. I might not put it low down behind bushes for example where someone might swing a spade, and I'd probably not use it down the side of a house where a car might get parked just in case, so use the same consideration you give any cable placement.

It's great stuff. I use it a lot for external socket installs and lighting. Dead easy to work with.
You are all talkative
Thanks for your ideas, especially NYY cable, as it is something new to me.
By the way I strugle to find it at CEF or Screwfix.
Anyway, project is not going forward, as customer expect me to do it for tenner maybe two
Tell me guys what sort of quote you would do.
1.change consumer unit (testing + cert. obviously)
2. Add new circuit for boiler - that was that, outbuilding cable for around 8 m.
There is no spur fuse serving boiler now, and he is using extension lead ! He dont dont want to interfere with inside decoration - fancy bricks like wall (made from gypsum or so.
3. Fit and connect Nest thermostat and setup.
4. Add external socket
I expect to be a mess with rings etc as it looks like no electrian did cabling when they were refurbishing home.
I mean labour only.
How much?
