Default Ring or radial?

I'm speccing up installing sockets in a brick garage. It currently has a CU
with an adjacent pair of double sockets on a short radial. I want to put some
sockets at various points around the far sides.


What's the feed to the CU? Is this a stand-alone installation with its own
supply company feed and meter? There would be no point me wondering about
a 32 A ring in my garage as it only has a 16 A feed from the house.


It's an 80A MCB on the CU in the garage - I'm not sure how it's hooked
into the main CU, but it isn't a separate feed. I'll see if I can find out
what the MCB on the other end is.


An 80A MCB? I may well be missing something but I'm left wondering:

a. are the sockets in the garage connected direct to that MCB or to
another - lower rated! - one?

b. does the supply definitely come from the house into the garage or
does it possibly go /from/ the garage /to/ the house?
