Dodgy electrician consumer unit change

[Sb8389]

Hi guys
Being to a job today where a customer wanted a quote for doing the bonding to water and gas. She had told me that an electrician had fitted a new board with no main earth present and had told her that it would cost an additional 300 pound to get the bonding done when the main earth has being installed. The electrician has even issued her a completion certificate noting this defects with no apparent test readings at all. What i want to know is do she have a case against him for installing a new consumer unit with obvious risks present and holding her to ransom by saying she has to pay more money to get the bonding done.

That book looks really interesting Dave, see they had an emergency head office at the time, most likely the usual one was a victim of German bombers , and the new type backboard insulators mentioned musn't have been favourably received - I've never seen anything other than porcelain insulators on backboards ?

I'd never even considered that was why they had an emergency head office, but it seems obvious now you say it!

I don't honk I've ever seen anything other than porcelain either, weird
