GERRARD’S ELECTRICAL SOLUTIONS
Properly designed electrical supplies for garages, garden rooms, sheds and workshops.
Supplying a detached garage, garden room, workshop or shed is more involved than running an extension lead from the house. The expected load, cable length, installation method, earthing and protective devices all affect the design.
Gerrard’s Electrical Solutions designs and installs electrical supplies for garages and outbuildings across Chester and surrounding areas, including local distribution, sockets, lighting and future capacity where appropriate.
Tell us how the building will be used before the cable is chosen. A small shed light and a heated garden room can have very different electrical requirements.
Plan your outbuilding supply →Cable size is affected by current demand, route length, installation method, grouping and other conditions. The supply should be designed from the expected use rather than selected by rule of thumb.
The supply is designed around route length, load and installation conditions.
Sockets, lighting and other loads can be separated and protected appropriately within the building.
Where useful, the design can consider realistic future loads without unnecessarily oversizing everything.
We establish what equipment, heating, sockets and lighting the building will need.
The cable route and installation method are assessed.
The sub-main, local distribution and final circuits are installed.
The completed installation is inspected, tested and certified.
We provide electrical supplies for detached garages, garden rooms, workshops, sheds and other outbuildings throughout Chester and surrounding areas.
There is no single cable size for every garage. It depends on the design current, route length, installation method, protective device and other installation conditions.
Yes. A local distribution board can be appropriate where the outbuilding has several circuits or loads.
Yes, using a suitable cable and installation method with the route and mechanical protection considered as part of the design.
Possibly, but it is better to discuss likely future loads at the design stage so the supply can be planned sensibly.
Tell us how the building will be used and where it sits in relation to the house and we can design the supply around the actual requirements.
