Just been to do a job at a house and when I came to do the test certificates I couldn't find any sign of a 10mm water bond, there was a 10mm gas bond however.

Now the property is only just 12 months old and on a new estate of 80 houses. I asked the occupier for the certificates when the house was bought, he handed them to me and there is no indication of it on there either. I checked the condition and there are signs of copper after the meter with a 1/2 turn isolation valve.

Am I missing something here or should it be installed? I have warned the occupier about it and he is fine with it at the moment but has no problems with me going back to install some bonding.
 
Getting back to been Electricians instead of daft buggers, I had the same issue with no bond, but then the Incommer and out going was plastic, so you can not bond what isnt there, the only thing is the BGB is still a guide so whats not there is not there just make a note if you are unsure on test sheet you make..
