    Surely there must be a Reg against this?!

    Ah man, forgot it's a 6mm & not a 10mm! I have to run a 10mm earth then so be it, I'll just knock the extra of what I'll charge so that they don't have to pay more. Nothing will be seen cable wise anyway as it will have a protective cover over it & then go underground through ducting. Your...

    Surely there must be a Reg against this?!

    Oh and UNG I didn't give the wife the hard sell at all, I explained the situation to her. It's not as if I'm doing this my way for financial gain as I won't make a single penny more, it's more so my work looks neat & tidy. The cleated cable will be hidden as well with a protective cover & goes...

    Surely there must be a Reg against this?!

    Nothing extranious in the the garage but surely if there was I could use the armour as an earth?. If the 10mm has to stay its no big deal. I got good discounted prices today & they are as follows: 6mm t & e £2.17 + vat per metre & SWA £2.04 + vat. So it's goin' to work out cheaper my way anyway...

    Surely there must be a Reg against this?!

    Yes, maybe I'll just check the prices tomorrow as surely there can't be much of a difference between the price of what's already run in (6mm t+e and a 10mm earth) and 6mm SWA on it's own. I'm no certain but I'm pretty sure the price when I got 6mm SWA 3 core the other week it was around about...

    Surely there must be a Reg against this?!

    Yeah I know but there was no telling him!! His wife has given me go ahead to run armoured from garage cu to inside property & put it in a joint box in attic then T&E to cu. It's not the best having to join it but going to have to compromise as they guy obviously doesn't want to spend much money...

    Surely there must be a Reg against this?!

    Here's the picture. Not the worst you've seen I'm sure but I just wasn't wanting to put my name to it, where I live word spreads quick so something rough like this wouldn't do me any favours!

    Surely there must be a Reg against this?!

    Thanks for the advice chaps. I spoke with the mans wife tonight & she informed me she'd rather there was no pipe going from between the house & the garage! Not wanting to cause them a huge hike in price, I suggested to her that I could run the SWA from the garage to inside the house loft (a...

    Surely there must be a Reg against this?!

    Apparently he's away offshore yesterday so I may just tell the wife it's against the regs to do it this way & that I'd have to do it the way I said. Like you guys have said, it's my name that's on it & the last thing I want is other sparkles thinking that I'm rough which I'm not! Does the SWA...

    Surely there must be a Reg against this?!

    My neighbour has put up a large garage that sits alongside his house but not joined to it. He asked me to wire & fit out lights inside & sockets as well. Told him he needs to get SWA to supply it as he was insisting on runnning the supply in (save money I assume) & for some reason (mainly cos...

    Shed metal profile earthing.

    Shall do the IR tomorrow and see. The metal is so old & corroded it's hardly able to get continuity between two points on each metal sheet. There's about 5/6 different small sheets as well. Hopefully won't have to bond as I'd have to probably link between each sheet.

    Shed metal profile earthing.

    The shed in question is mostly wooden but has one side that is metal profile & the roof also. There's a 6mm swa supplying it. Is it acceptable to just take a 6mm earth from the shed CU & bond the metal parts? Somehow I've got it in my head that someone said you can't do this to me before? That...

    Earthing question relating to test certificate.

    Thanks for the help. It's not a problem installing it so I'll just do that. Better to be safe. It was only today I managed to get access under the floor & noticed it, I'd stupidly just seen the 10mm earth leave the board, done continuity tests & assumed they were bonded underneath the floor.

    Earthing question relating to test certificate.

    I've always thought (rightly or wrongly) if you add a new circuit then you've to make sure all the earthing is correct before signing off certificate. For example you're water service & gas service being earthed. Anyway, installing a new ring at the moment & whilst under the floor I couldn't see...
