I would really appreciate it if you guys could look at this a see
if I have I missed anything obvious?

Cable:

3core x 4mm Armoured Black 25m Coil



You'll use the armour as the earth- isolated at the shed end
(plastic comsumer unit) and connected at the house end (metal
knock out box connected to earth- NB 10mm2 cable here please)

You'll need some more 10mm2 earth cable and a copper earth spike
at shed. [1]

Assuming TT system.

Tim..

I intend to share the earth with my house... is that so bad?

No, there are pro's and cons, much discussed here already. Unless
the garage was a fair distance from the house I wouldn't bother
with a separate earth.


nah... its like 3m max away from the consumer unit, not even sure I
need the aforementioned reel but I cant find it priced per metre
anywhere

Phil

TLC www.tlc-direct.co.uk sell it by the metre.
