[QUOTE="Stevext, post: 497484, member: 32813"] Good Morning All Thanks for accepting me, hope I can tap into your collective knowledge. I have a 1950’s house with a detached garage that runs parallel to it with a 1 metre wide path between it. currently the supply to it is as follows.... [LIST] [*]RCBO 32 30ma in fairly new consumer box under the stairs. [*]twin and earth flex coming out of house approx 2.8m high above path then suspended catenary and into garage fuse box. [*]old metal fuse box with wire fuses in garage. [/LIST] the power supplies an electric roller door, 2 single sockets, 2 double sockets and 4 led strip lights. Have a tumble dryer out there but no welders or big equipment, I just store the scooter and garden stuff in it. I had a few doubts about the flex being ok for the job so started reading up a bit, before I ask around for a part p registered electrician to come out, am I just over concerned? didnt think twin and earth flex should be run to an external building? Although the cable is less than the 3.5m high I seem to read about, it’s a footpath accessed by only me, should I raise it? would it be beneficial to change the old wire fuses for something more modern Thanks very much for your time and stay safe regards Steve [/QUOTE]
