yes you are quite rightThat doesn't help with making the observation on the EICR, unless you are going to do the work free of charge whilst carrying out the EICR?

I must say in the relatively short time (2-3 years) I have been undertaking electrical work I am surprised at the amount of times I have come across main bonding which has either been completely removed or made inaccessible. I can't work out if this is due to a lack of understanding on the part of the builder/plumber/kitchen fitter or that they don't care. Either way its a bit worrying!
The builder I work with is a very experienced builder, his standard of work is high and I have known him long enough to know he is honest. However, he had disconnected the main bonding on a recent job and was under the impression that it could just be removed nowadays if there was an RCD.
Talking about plumbers cutting things off I went to a job the other day where the plumber cut the wiring centre out as he said it was in the way for his pipe work...he made sure he cut them as close as possible to the floor though as well. Other side of cupboard had a clear wall that he could of run up but that would of been too easy. I walked in see what he had done so I asked if he had been smoking crack....rang his boss who I was doing the job for and explained the simple connection of the new boiler and unvented upgrade had now turned into basically a full S-plan and would be costing £--- more now due to his muppet plumber. He wasn't happy to say the least.It's always the plumbers who get their knickers in a twist about the gas pipe being bonded in the meter box, yet they will go looking for every single other bonding clamp to cut it off of the pipes.
