Garden room electrics
I currently have a garden shed with full power, with the garden circuit being a separate circuit on the main consumer unit. Power is provided to the shed via a buried 50mm armoured cable. I am planning on replacing the shed with a proper garden room. Is it possible to utilise the current electricity connection in the new garden room, effectively directly replacing the shed with the garden room? I would expect to have a secondary consumer unit in the garden room.

average cost for a rewire
I am purchasing a cottage which needs a full rewire. Some sockets are on the skirtings, and I can see the wiring chased outside of the walls. The cottage is 80SQM, and I would also require sockets to be added, and some light fixtures to be moved/added. I am just questioning, on average how much this could possibly cost.
Electricity Supply Relocation
We are going to have our existing garage demolished to make way for a 2 story extension, however the incomming gas and electricity supplies and meters are in the garage and need to be relocated. I've need to apply to have the supply relocated, and the people I've had round so far seem a little lost as to where. The current supply and meter are located on the left hand wall of the garage that will be demolished, right next to where the 'k' of kitchen is on the plans in the link below. Once the supply has been moved we can then get the house rewired, the garage demolished, and the build started. Any ideas where the new supply could go? Or clever ways of making life easy? Many thanks
