So sorry, I know these posts are tedious.
When I got my house rewired some 10 years ago, I knew I wanted a small music studio in the garden so I had the electrician install a spare cable running from the inside of the CU (left loose inside and not connected to a MCB) up into the loft, where it could then be connected to some SWA in the future. All the cabling is now covered/plastered over, so ideally I would like to use this spare cable he installed.
I've taken a look and it's only 2.5mm.
The 2.5mm run would go from a new MCB into the loft (1m length) before connecting to 10mm SWA running approx 30m into the studio.
Is this small run of 2.5mm upto the job, or will I need to remove all the plastering so some 4mm be installed perhaps?
Any pointers? Thanks.
