What is the recommended way of extending a 6mm ^2 supply cable ? I'm
wiring up a double garage divided in two to make a workshop and the
incoming cable is a couple of metres away from where the CU should go.

I can't see anything immediately obvious in the Screwfix catalogue.
The CU supplies a 32A MCB ring and 6A MCB for the lights. RCD on the
ring.

Armoured or T&E cable?

Where is the joint, underground on a wall, under floorboards etc?

Depending on the type of cable and location something from

Thanks David - the 60 A one is what I'm wanting - Screwfix only go up
to 30A. Sorry I should have said is was above ground and ordinary 6mm
cable.
