Garden room electrics in South Croydon
- 01
Getting power to the garden room
Power usually comes from your consumer unit through armoured cable, buried at a safe depth or clipped along a wall or fence. The cable is sized for the length of the run and the load, so heaters and computers in the garden room get a steady supply.

Wiring inside the garden room
Most garden rooms need a small consumer unit with RCD protection, sockets for desks or equipment, lighting and a circuit for a heater or air conditioning. We plan the positions with you before the cladding or lining boards go on, so cables are hidden neatly.

Data, outdoor lights and extras
A data cable run alongside the power gives a garden office a reliable internet connection that Wi-Fi often can't. Outside lights, a socket on the decking or a light for the path can usually be added at the same time, saving a second visit.
What to expect from garden room electrics
We visit to look at the garden room, the route from the house and your consumer unit. We work out the load from heaters, lighting and equipment, then agree positions for sockets and switches. Your free quote covers the cable route, the supply and the wiring inside.
We run and connect the supply, fit the garden room's consumer unit and wire the inside, ideally before the walls are lined. Once everything is tested, you receive an Electrical Installation Certificate, and the new circuit is notified to building control as required.

Garden room electrics questions
Does a garden office in South Croydon need its own consumer unit?
In most cases, yes. A small consumer unit in the garden room gives it its own protection and lets you isolate it separately. It also makes it easier to add circuits for heating or extra sockets later. We'll recommend the right setup for your building.
How deep does garden room cable need to be buried in Croydon?
Armoured cable is usually buried deep enough to stay clear of normal digging, often around 500mm to 600mm under lawns and beds, with warning tape above it. The exact depth depends on the route and the ground, and we plan it to avoid paths and planting.
Can I run a heater in my garden room all day?
Yes, if the supply is designed for it. Heaters and air conditioning draw a lot of power, so the cable size and protection need to suit that load over a long run. We size the supply around how you plan to use the room.
Is garden room electrics work notifiable in South Croydon?
Yes. A new circuit to an outbuilding is notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations in England. We test and certify the work and make sure the notification is made, so you'll have the paperwork if you sell the house later.
