18th Edition Bonding requirements

[Midwest]

thanks for the reply .. I'm not a electrician and I'm judging it needs doing purely on commen sense , surely if all the incoming supplys and pipework in the property can carry a voltage then it needs everything? as I stated in my first post dont shoot me straight away please lol .. also judging on the way the house has been re wired (bad workmanship) I wouldnt be surprised if it was wrong .. I also noticed the kitchen isnt on it's own circuit on the distribution board it's part of downstairs sockets which is just pure lazy , the garage which is fed with a armoured cable underground only has 1 fused spur in it even though there is a lighting circuit off it aswell , back boxs are not even level in the wall etc etc .. the list goes on

Arrgh just re-read your first post again, and this one. Your friend should raise her concerns with the electrician or contracting company that carried out the rewire, re the bonding.

My house (and many thousands like it) has the kitchen wired into one of the houses RFC's (ring final circuit). If I was rewiring a house, I might consider having kitchen sockets on their own circuit.

Domestic garages spurred off a RFC's, supplying socket & lighting is also normal, unless there's a high load being used in the garage.

Perhaps you should start your own thread?

This is not an 18th edition bonding requirement.
This is just an explanation of what everyone should have been doing all along.

So, 100,000s of electricians since the 1960s have been doing it wrong?
