Can electricity be installed in my garage?

[gladiator]

I have no electricity in my garage. I live in a modern cul de sac where my garage is a good 60ft away from my house divided by brick pavier/paving across a public area

Along the brick pavier there are grates which allow access to services / utilities. I would think these would allow access to the likes of water, gas, fibre cables, telecom cables

Is there any way a cable could be run to the garage from my house making use of the services /utility, so I can have electricity?

I have no pictures at present but if it helps, I can take some.

Thank you

Of course it would help, what's a brick pavier? Monoblock driveway? What's currently run in the ducts?

Brick paving
Grates would allow access to utilities

You can get portable power supplies

these can be charged in your house, or solar panels, step one is look at cost. Clearly this would not do EV charging, that is another kettle of fish.

In the village where I live, many of the homes use a communal parking area, I note this now has EV charging bays, which have caused a lot of unrest, where 8 parking bays have been made into 6 EV charging bays, the complaints were for a time stopped when it was stated by town council that the bays were not reserved for EV vehicles, but it seems power for EV charging is becoming a massive problem.

Running power across other land not owned by you? Good luck getting approval for that

In terms of electrical work in general, that is an incorrect and potentially misleading statement of the law. Anyone can legally undertake any electrical work, the only issue being that for some types of work (very few types in England) for which it is necessary to notify the Local Authority and eventually (hopefully) get their approval of what work has been done.

However, what the OP wants to do goes way beyond the question of who is allowed to do what electrical work. If he wants tio run anything (electrical cables, pipes or whatever) across public land and through someone else's ducts, he has opened up more cans of worms than I dare to think of! ... and that would be equally true if he were proposing that a ';registered electrician' was going to push a cable through the duct in question!¬

I refer you back to post #7

I refer you back to post #7

Indeed - but I hadn't seen that when I wrote and posted #8. In any event, you presumably are happy that we agreed?

I also corrected the inaccurate and potentially misleading statement that the work would have to be done by a "registered electrician"

Thank you to those who posted.
I'll leave be

The first question you need to answer is who owns this "public area"?

Do you own it with your neighbours having a right of access over it?
Does the council own it?
Is it some kind of common area jointly owned by the different houses?

The architects for that deserve a prize, don't they.
