    Anyone know where the best/cheapest place to buy SWA 6^2 is?

    Need it for a shed I am doing,

    I could have worked it out but, re-located a thread that directs to this http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk

    I also found a thread on boards (few minutes ago) but cant locate it now saying that T'O reilly is closed??? I actually tried to ring them earlier to price but no answer, although I've had that problem before when a branch was closed and they seemed to change their phone numbers. Are they closed?

    The thread also mentioned they (O'Reilly's) were kinda dear, but I always found them quite cheap (at least compared to the standard DIY (places)

    So where is a good price for wiring/cables ? I'm in the Dublin south west area

    Thanks in advance :)

    The price of cable is changing daily at the moment. you best bet is to phone around. It will depend on when the supplier bought the cable.

    thanks, got what I thought was a good price
    edit
    Also, what would a range of fittings and glands to ask for to fit for a shed.

    I'm gonna get the cable now and put it in place but for later.

    Also, I want to get an IP rated (waterproof rated, so 5 or 6) consumer unit (possibly a small one), gonna look up the MCB's ? RCD requirements/ask here also, but afterwards.
    So
    What glands do I ask for? anything specific?

    Need something to connect to consumer unit in shed, maybe at consumer unit in house, although I may not be able to run SWA through house, have been told I can put a junction box and connect 6 sq twin and earth to run to house consumer unit (I know a straight run with no junctions would be best)

    Thanks TK 1111,
    I already got the cable, but that looks like a good site to have bookmarked.
    :)

    I am open to correction, but I don't think they do cable.

    IMHO a better deal on everything is more lightly if all items are bought in one place.
