I am routing alarm cables to a garage and following a mains cable in  conduit around the outside of the house, how far apart should I have the conduit carrying the alarm cable to avoid any problems 

Thanks lee

I'd generally try to keep as far as possible away normally trying to keep minimum of a foot or so like JW says. BS7671 is 50mm minimum between LV and ELV, unless in it's own metallic containment.

More of concern is alarm cabling being outside of the alarms protected area which is generally avoided, if you have to for a single run you need to think about protection from cable tampering.
