A run to a garden room does not replace the electrical feed. · 5.0 Star from 39 reviews A data point in Chipstead finishes at the router the house already uses. Cable to a garden room is a data cable, not a new electrical feed to a stable. ## What a Chipstead data point includes The figure is the data cable and the faceplate back to the router already there. Each extra faceplate is counted before any cable is cut. A new electrical feed to a stable is not in the figure. - Data cabling: from £120 - A second router is not part of this visit. - Power sockets in the garden room are a different circuit. - A consumer unit swap sits outside this data point. ## Data and network point installation across Chipstead We serve Chipstead from our base in Banstead. - High Road - Outwood Lane - Starrock Lane - Hazelwood Lane - How Lane - Coulsdon Lane - Hazel Way - Chipstead station - Shabden Park ## What happens on the day We run the data cable from the router that is already in the house to the faceplate that was named, and we test that link. A point in a garden room is still only data. It does not replace a small electrical feed to a stable, and it does not renew older cabling behind the consumer unit. On a long plot the data cable can cross the garden when that was named. The supply that runs a long way in from the road stays buried. ### Finish at the existing router The faceplate is taken to the router this house already uses. Another router is not added, and rooms that were not named stay without a point. ### Keep data off the power feed A data cable into a garden room is not a power cable. Sockets and lights in that room still depend on the electrical feed, which is tested only if that work was booked. ### Leave the older power cable Finding tired power cable during the run is written down. It is not replaced under a data point, and the consumer unit is not changed. ## Questions about Chipstead data points ### Do you replace the router? No. The new faceplate runs to the router the house already has. With no router on site, there is nowhere for the cable to finish. ### Is a garden room point a power supply? No. It carries data. Lights and sockets in that room still need the electrical feed, which on many Chipstead plots is already too small and is a different job. ### Will the trench replace the supply from the road? No. Even on a valley plot, data cable is not the incoming electrical supply. That supply stays as it is. ### What if you find a power fault on the way? It is written down and left for its own visit. A data point does not become an inspection or a board change. ### Can every room be done at once? Only the faceplates on the list. Extra rooms are counted before the cable is cut, including in a house near Chipstead station. ## Other services in Chipstead - [Electrician in Chipstead](https://www.tmbelectrics.co.uk/electrician-chipstead): Electrician in Chipstead, Surrey (CR5) — the Reigate and Banstead village, not Chipstead in Kent.
