Hi folks,
Just looking for some guidance on how deep I need to dig in my pockets - diagram below:
The problem statement is: I need to hook-up the garden room to power; for lights, sockets (laptop/tv/monitor/usual home office stuff) and potentially a split AC unit.
I think the most correct answer is to run a new armoured cable from Garden Room to CU, however I really want to avoid this for a while. I would mean quite a bit of upheaval as it means emptying the log store, digging up the side return (which is pure concrete) etc etc. I need to fix the side return in general but don't want to tie all the jobs together if I can avoid it.
It seems the current setup has worked perfectly for 2 decades or so, so presumably it was correct at some point. I had an EICR done as part of my house CU change, and he did test the sockets at the far end of the armour cable (it used to terminate in the old shed).
I suppose therefore my question is whether I can take the armour that comes out the back of the workshop and stick it into a mini CU to drive some lights/sockets - and possibly a split AC unit in the fullness of time.
There is no load on the workshop typically, other than an Alexa/cameras/PoE switch.
Thanks!
