Garden rooms in Cwmbran
Do you have a garden out building or summer house that needs power supply? PG Electrics can install power supply into your garden room providing an office, lounge space or even a workshop. Whatever use you have in mind, we can transform your garden room into a space that enhances your lifestyle. Power supply can be installed in two different ways, depending on a few factors. If you have an up to date, well maintained existing electrical system (like a consumer unit) it’s likely your garden room can be connected to this existing system. However if you have an older system, it may require an upgrade or a new, smaller system installed solely to power the garden room. This is sometimes the more practical option, especially if you plan to install a few outdoor sockets in your garden at the same time or in future.
The most common way power is supplied to a garden room is through an armoured cable dug underground in a trench. Sounds complicated but it’s actually relatively simple. The trench must be at least 500 mm deep and run from your home to your garden room. The digging is the most labour intensive and time consuming part however PG Electrics will do everything possible to limit disruption. The reason for the cable to be placed underground is for additional safety and protection. It also means cables are hidden away.
Garden room lighting
After power supply connection, lighting will ensure your garden room can be used day and night. Lighting will be especially important if you plan to use it for an office or workspace. Lighting will also mean you can use your garden room throughout the year, even in the winter months. PG Electrics are qualified LED lighting installers in Cwmbran, whatever garden room lighting requirements you have, we can help.
Garden room regulations
All garden room electrics must comply with electrical wiring & Part P building regulations. PG Electrics are NICEIC approved domestic installers and all our work is Part P compliant. This means you can relax knowing your garden room electrics will be fully compliant and any electrical work will be completed to the highest standard.
Other considerations
Depending on the usage of your garden room, it may be worth considering other factors like sockets and heating. Perhaps you plan to use your garden room as a home office, if so, thinking about socket placement is a good idea. Plan out where your desktop or laptop will be and we can ensure you have access to enough sockets nearby. This will make working more enjoyable and efficient. It may also be worth considering electric heating for your garden room. This will mean you can use your garden room throughout the whole year.
