The electrician would have to certify it, not sure he would be able to do that? To be honest I would just do it! Like x 1. Reckon permission will the the issue. Either go solar or go in the alley at 3 in the morning with a padded shovel, dig a trench and lay the armoured cable ;-.
Just like to add if you ask permission good chance it will be refused. Cant you see if the neighbours would like power to their garages too assuming they are net to yours? May help with permission and costs. Google Part P electrical safety. The problem area is going to be the shared footpath that you have to cross, permissions etc the deeds may help here.
This may require a mm trench and buried warning tape at mm, possibly the cable having to be run in black pipe Google BS You are going to have to involve the Local Authority Building Control Department anyway because of Part P, so why not give them a call.
Like x 2. Dont bury it, mm is rec depth and then tape n tile over it for protection. Use SWA and run along fence lines at around 1m height so it is visisble, preferably in galv, stainless or plastic tray secured well. Run the feed from the RCD side of the comsumer unit too. So overall quite mixed opinions I've got the viewing booked for next week and in the mean time I'm trying to find out from the agency whether the garage has power.
If there's no power I will have a snoop around the property and try to find out whether it is feasible to get it done. Tbh I'd build a large workshop in your garden and keep the bikes and spannering in there. The garage can be for stuff you are not bothered about. Iceman, I did something similar in my garage, but it was on my actual property in that instance - but I can vouch for how easy it is to do, as I did mine and then got a sparky to check it off, make final connections and sign it off.
Bought the parts, spare off RCD protected side just straight into garage to run sockets - and we did a fused spur for the lights. Easy stuff. As you say, cheap either way. As for your permission issue, which is your only slight wrinkle - your lawyer will be able to enquire as to the legal status of that path behind your house-to-be - as many of these are "undefined" and are not maintained by the council at all.
The usual way to check is to see if it is clear unusual, council look after it most likely , or full of weeds and almost unpassable then almost certainly undefined and responsibility of the householders - who don't care and only ever use it in emergencies. But if it's just the locals, I wouldn't even bother to tell them, or tell them if they seem friendly, but don't make a big deal of it, but just get out there one weekend and dig the very small trench to bury it and get it in there and to the garage.
Get it in deep enough, in armoured cable, covered with tiles, buried etc, and one end loose at your garage and one in your garden. Don't buy the rest or involve the sparky until that is done - once that is away you are there. What are they going to do? Who will enforce the problem if it's not on council land?
Are they going to care that much if it's done safely? They would probably care more that you had cleared it a little. We put a gate across ours without consent at all as the main use of those alleys is for burglars to enter your property from the rear where they won't be seen!
