Re: More electrics
Speaking as a man who has worked with electricity for more than fifty years, I worry for you Reg. If you were a qualified electrician why do you feel the need to ask advice? Electricity kills!! Electricity and water kills even quicker! I fear you will keep going until something awful happens. Take my advice my friend and get a qualified person in to sort this out for you.Re: More electrics
Re: More electrics
This is one of the areas that you have to get a qualified person to do, or else go through building regs. If you have to replace the cable, the bulk of the cost will be in the labour. I believe that there is no longer a stated depth at which a cable should be buried, simply that it should not be able to be disturbed under normal circumstances. So, rather than digging up the old one, have it disconnected and a new one fitted.Re: More electrics
The electrician chap who wired my shed twenty years ago has the wires encased in gun barrel metal tubing all the way down the garden, it’s not buried but attached by brackets to the long wall leading down to the shed, inside the shed he has a small electrical box where I can knock on/off the power, never had any problems with it, best to get it done by someone who knows their game I think.
