Electrics

All our garden rooms have a generous electrical fit-out which is detailed in the CAD drawings for each product range. The standard package includes an independent consumer unit (fuseboard) with in-built RCD (Residual Current Devices - designed to help prevent electric shock and other accidents due to faulty electrical appliances or wiring) protection, trip switching on each circuit and a mains isolator fused switch. Additionally, there are flush wall-mounted 13 amp double sockets on a main ring circuit, flush wall-mounted telephone and data points with ISDN broadband compatible cabling. All socket and switch plates are standard white fittings. For your safety all our buildings are fitted with a mains powered smoke alarm complete with battery backup. To provide a quality internal finish all cabling is concealed within the structure, so there will be no surface-mounted cables or trunking.

A feed cable from the consumer unit is brought to the outside of the building and terminated in a waterproof junction box. If you choose to get your own electrician to carry out the electrical connect between the outbuilding and the existing house, it is a simple case of connecting the cable from the house into the junction box. We can, upon request and subject to a site survey, include the electric cable and connection from the existing house to the garden room.

Part P of the Building Regulations was introduced by the government in 2005 and affects all electrical work carried out in home and gardens. Upon completion of the project our Electrician will test and issue a Part P compliance certificate for the work which we carried out. Click on the links below to see sample certificates:
