    No bonding, no work getting carried out?

    Evening all, My NIC inspector told me years ago "if there is no bonding in place, you're within your rights to switch off the electrical installation until works have been carried out!".... not sure if this is true? When asked by a customer to carry out a job which you give a cost for before...

    Cable out of the wall and back in

    Could I run a low voltage cable that comes out of a stud wall and back in again 50mm later to get past a stud. I don't have access above that part of the wall. It would be covered by a cabinet but of course if seen it would look very dodgy. I was thinking of labelling the cable at the very...
