  • Garden room electrics

    I currently have a garden shed with full power, with the garden circuit being a separate circuit on the main consumer unit. Power is provided to the shed via a buried 50mm armoured cable. I am planning on replacing the shed with a proper garden room. Is it possible to utilise the current electricity connection in the new garden room, effectively directly replacing the shed with the garden room? I would expect to have a secondary consumer unit in the garden room.
