Garden room electrics in Manchester
- 01
Getting power to the building
Most garden rooms are supplied by a steel wire armoured cable run from the house, either buried at a safe depth or clipped along a wall or fence. The cable size depends on the distance and how much power the room will use.

Inside the garden room
We fit a small consumer unit in the building with RCD protection, then add sockets, lighting and a circuit for a heater or other equipment. Outside lights and a weatherproof socket by the door are popular extras that are easy to add at the same time.

Planning for how you'll use it
A garden office needs plenty of sockets near the desk, while a gym or workshop may need more power for equipment. Tell us how you plan to use the space, and we'll size the supply so you're not short of power later on.
What to expect from garden room electrics
We visit to measure the cable route from the house to the garden room, check your consumer unit and discuss how you'll use the space. You then receive a free, no-obligation quote covering the supply, the consumer unit and everything inside the building.
We bury or clip the armoured cable along the agreed route, connect it at both ends and fit the consumer unit, sockets and lights in the garden room. Everything is tested, and as a new circuit, the work is certified and notified to building control.

Garden room electrics questions
How deep should a garden room cable be buried in Manchester?
Armoured cable is usually buried around 450mm deep in gardens and deeper under driveways, with warning tape laid above it. The route should avoid places you might dig later. Where digging isn't practical, the cable can be clipped along a wall or fence instead.
Can I run a heater in my Manchester garden room?
Yes, as long as the supply is sized for it. Electric heaters draw a fair amount of power, especially alongside computers or gym equipment. We plan the cable and circuits around everything you'll use, so the heater can run without tripping the power.
Does my garden room in Manchester need its own consumer unit?
In most cases, yes. A small consumer unit in the garden room protects its circuits separately and lets you isolate the building from inside it. It also makes it easy to add circuits later. We advise what's needed based on the size of the room and its use.
Should I plan the electrics before my Manchester garden room is built?
It helps to plan them early. If the cable can be laid while groundworks are happening, there's less digging later, and cable entry points can be built into the base. Talk to us when you're choosing your garden room, and we'll work around the installer's schedule.
