External 13 amp sockets and cabling

Posted by David Imisson, on
Already have an external waterproof wall box feeding a 13 amp supply from house to garage via underground armoured cable. Can this box be used to wire in additional external sockets?

Hi David, It depends if this is on its on circuit or not. If its on its own circuit then not a prob to extend it but if its already been taken from the ring main (Spur) then no you wont be able to extend the spur. Get an electrician out to have a look and give you proper advice on this If your in Lancashire I would gladly look at this for you Thanks Russ
