Thanks all for the replys i will inform the landlord tomorrow, and keep you all posted, i understand that an eicr is for safety foremost but sometimes we get situations like this which the regs might not cover specifically
Hi all been a while but need advice, done an eicr today found that the cooker switch has been left under the plinth so cable not secure etc, tested at the oven which was fine earth wise, what code would this be regarding access and cable security etc, thanks in advance
Sorry lol i suppose my point being if i was to upgrade the main bonding as well as install the shed supply but am unable to access service pipes where they enter the property, or just ignore the bonding and just note it on the eic?
Hi been to a job wants a shed wired, about fifty meters away from the house, my concern is the bonding to the services, not good and near impossible to route to within 600mm of the stop cock/gas meter, my question is could i bond the pipes at the upstairs meter? I know what the regs state but...
Yeah def needs mechanical protection, ze 88 ohms, job today ex council flat bonding everywhere except where it should be, gonna run a ten millimeter on the outside to external gas meter and complete at water incomer, who the hell installs these meters!, they haven't got the foggiest about...

Oh ---- I forgot, the earth to the earth rod is about 10" from the wall, 10mm cable not buried so fine, but an obvious tripping hazard, needs conduit etc but wouldn't a conduit box etc pose more of a tripping hazard? Sorry but everything I see lately seems a mind bending issue
Again thanks for all advice, landlord got no probs with me doing the water bonding, also found a dodgy socket no connection to the earth pin somehow, will complete this before issuing the cert
Agreed, just dont want to charge extra to install a bond from the db, although wouldn't be much cost - about 15m cable plus trunking, just been having a mare lately, 2 Rcd faults in a week or so, one a mem board with a functional earth causing probs, as I said a new business, just want to ensure...
