Help with wiring garage

Posted by John Smith, on
I’m rewiring a garage for a relative There’s a supply (2.5mm2) from the house consumer unit to the garage Consumers unit and this is on a 20a breaker In the garage my relative is wanting a socket for 2 freezers and a light Also, there is an swa cable running to the greenhouse for a single socket In the garage consumers unit there are a 32a 16a and 6a breakers. I was going to run a Cable from the 6a for the light (1.5mm2) A cable from the 16a to the socket (2.5mm2) then use the 32a breaker for the SWA for the single socket in the greenhouse. Is this safe? All is ran on a radial circuit so nothing is returning to the CU
