How a Kingswood armoured feed is costed
For one detached building, the figure follows cable size and which board the feed leaves. The dig is described before the day. Original wiring in the house stays put. With no detached building, there is no trench.
From £250
Included
- Planning the cable path from the consumer unit or isolator to the far end
- Laying of steel wire armoured (SWA) cable, buried or clipped as the quote sets out
- Glands and terminations at both ends
- Continuity and insulation resistance tests on the new run
- A minor works certificate or installation certificate for the circuit
Ways to pay
- Pay by bank
- Bank transfer
- Paths and planting go back only if the note already says so next to the cable size.
- Work on the board at either end is described as its own line.
- Sockets and lights inside the building, after the feed arrives, are the outbuilding task.

What happens on the day
This cable is a fresh feed into a detached building, either because the old cable failed or because nothing has ever fed it. Digging is not how a Costain house replaces original wiring. Both ends and the ground between are marked before a spade is used. The feed arrives on that building's board, often the unit already in the outbuilding. Wanting an indoor circuit off Copthill Lane is not a reason to dig.
- Mark both ends firstWe mark the line from the supply board to the detached building and photograph both ends before any digging. A live socket at the far end is not a passed cable test.
- Leave the house wiring in the houseCostain additions and the original wiring remain indoors. Opening the garden does not feed those rooms.
- Land on the outbuilding boardThe new feed ends on the board for the detached building. Where a unit is already in the outbuilding, that is the landing point. A new board is not invented so the trench has somewhere to arrive.

WhatsAppIs a Costain house fed by digging the garden?
No. Original wiring and later additions stay in the house. Digging is reserved for a detached building that needs power brought to it.
When is a new feed used?
After the cable there fails, or where nothing has ever fed the building. A lamp still lighting at the far end does not count as a pass.
Does the feed land on the outbuilding board?
When that board is already there. Large plots often have one in the outbuilding. A new board is not added just so the cable has somewhere to arrive.
Is a Woodland Way extra circuit a trench?
No. Those newer houses generally want extra circuits in the house. A trench to a detached building is a different job.
Is the line of the trench chosen on the day?
No. Line and depth are fixed on the paper before anyone arrives. Shifting either is costed before the line moves.
