How do you get power to my Garden Room?

​We install a SWA (Steel Wire Armoured) supply cable from your house to your new Garden Room.

If needs be, we will dig a trench to bury it under your lawn.

Our team of qualified electricians will ensure the install meets the UK national standard BS 7671 and is compliant with Part P of the Building Regulations. You will be provided with a certificate to demonstrate this.
