Main eath bonding

[Silly Sausage]

You're taking a chance if you take advice (albeit by consensus), from forums, as gospel.
Seeing as at least 50% of it, is opinionated nonsense!
It's good for pointing you in the right direction, but, you need to backup what you 'learn' from definitive sources.

Just free loading on advice here, BS7671 costs.
The art of free loading on the internet is to attain information from several independent sources, if the agree it is more likely to be correct. If they can reference the material this can be proved. If the standards are not freely available avenues of enquiry slam their door in your face.

If I can elicit more information by refining the original question then I will do that rather than start a new thread. Agree that I am starting to sound pedantic.

And you expect us to spoon feed you advice FOC. Well think again.

Oh, I thought that was the idea of these forums. There are many forums that do. As it happens Part P is much less restrictive this year. Home owners are re-empowered and the economy may grown. Thanks govt. Just when I was starting to worry that maintenance may have to be foregone due to the exorbitant price of sparkies.

Just this thread is not necessarily of practical interest to me and I am attempting to discuss the reasoning behind what you do, as I am sure different sparks have different approaches. I am sorry you don't feel you can condescend to converse further with me.

You asked for advice and we gave you the information. The fact you chose to ignore it speaks volumes about you, not us.

This forum is for sparkies, not DIY chancers.

Then I shall leave until I get 'prenticed. I believe you gave some good advice but then began telling me to call a pro. Who'd I'd ring and ask "what does the earth testing procedure consist off". I'd get a reply, or more likely an appointment. Or I might find an answer indexed by Google, on a forum such as this, and save everyone a lot of bother in the future. Answer if you want, but I'm obviously not qualified to be on here.

* i agree with that point as being a positive step. *

Just when I was starting to worry that maintenance may have to be foregone due to the exorbitant price of sparkies.

* we are one of the cheapest trades around these days , influx of labour has driven down prices , and electrical maintenence on a house rarely costs more than £100 a year on average *

Just this thread is not necessarily of practical interest to me

* we're hardly thrilled either lol *

and I am attempting to discuss the reasoning behind what you do, as I am sure different sparks have different approaches.

* with earth bonding there is little scope for varied interpretation , clearly defined requirements are laid out in our bible *


I am sorry you don't feel you can condescend to converse further with me.

* its nothing personal , we're just a bit tired from arguing with chancers. *
