Hi all,
What do people do about providing warranties for the roofing work?
The products are covered by the manufacturers warranty. NIC-EIC provide a warranty against non- conformance to regs, but I'm not sure what sort of warranty we can provide for the actual installation

Just called EON to find out the earthing arrangement of a commercial premises (not obvious whether TNS or TNCS). The lady didn't have a clue what I was talking about and said they could put a PME in if I wanted. I've not had to call before so am I being daft here? It is EON who should know this...
