    Anyway op, meteor electrical or similar can give you an idea of cable prices.
    Either 6 square or 10. I ran 6 out to my one, even though at the time I was using only lights and a few sockets, and it was about a 20 meter run, and 2 cat 5 cables which as of yet I have not used, but will at some stage.

    Really ?
    Are you saying that as a competent DIYer I am unable to dig a trench and run some wire in it ? As the builder of a timber construction "house" for all intents and purposes, I am deemed incapable of drilling some holes in my frame and threading some wire through it - and that regs stop any sparky having spec'd, directed and then assessed the work to wire that into the main consumer board and then sign off?

    I am honestly in total shock :eek: - I was able to help my friend build his own light aircraft and I have recently rebuilt the brakes on my car - the plane was deemed fit to fly after and inspection and the car passed the nct !



    All the electrics in the house are less than 5 years old - (done by a REC :D)

    I’m afraid that doesn’t mean a thing ,it’s restricted works , which will need a cert 3 which you can’t give , home insurance etc

    Told you 10 square based on first post. You didnt like that recommendation. Mystic meg will be of more help now I think based on later posts.

    You would be thinking 10sq off the bat before doing any calculations
