bonding for landlord

[glasgospark]

carried out eicr for landlord
no main bonding to gas and water mains
c2 coded
told them we need to run 10mm from main board to each area

the gas is pretty much non accessible , is there anything within the regs or guidance notes that states what to do in tyhe case i.e bond at different point etc ?

 

[sparkee]

bond where you can and notify as deviation from regs

 

[telectrix]

bond as near as possible to the point of entry.

I think the infamous words 'Reasonably practicable' come into play here.

Don't they teach this on the famous 5 Week Wonder Course??

thought so guys , thanks same house there is a new board fitted around 2-3 years ago going by labeling , circuits labelled ring 1 ,2, kitchen ring
no ring continuity on these circuits , pretty strange to have 3 rings given these readings any advice on what to do from here
i plan on checking every socket for connections ,r1+r2 tests, but failing that im thinking they may not be done on rings

2 cables in each MCB? installed by monkeys? thorough investigation requierd.

 

[glasgospark]

yes all appears to be ring , 2 cables at mcb , labeling etc , but yes further investigation required

My advice is to do the 2395

 

[glasgospark]

got the 2395 mate just looking for second opinion ,

got one better , main switch is rcd (non compliant) and had a 2.5 cable doubled up with the main tails , i changed it and gave it its own breaker it tripped rcd , who ever done bored change thought this was a good way to bypass rcd to stop the tripping
