yeah didn't have to get out of the van for the EICR's as they looked alright from the roadside lol

I had a heating system years ago a bit like that Lee except only 4 pumps altogether. Had a bit of a head scratcher on how to fire the boiler and only certain pumps without introducing relays so in the end settled on wiring the pump feeds in with the brown on the corresponding Motorised valve, figured the valves wouldn't take long to open once actuated.

No Lee your a proper Sparky, not one of those that can do EICR's & Fault finding telepathically .

I'm just waiting for someone to come on here & tell us something like that, Sparky gave them an EICR without a visit.

I think I may have been doing the remedial work from that 'sparky' yesterday.

Apparently there was no supplementary bonding in the property and one unknown circuit. Shaver sockets in the bathrooms that had them (the only electrical accessories present aside from the lights/fans) were properly bonded, he obviously just couldn't be bothered to bend down to look under the sinks and the mystery circuit ran to a single socket outlet about 4" away from the CU. Obviously 30 seconds identifying that wouldn't yield an hours labour for the investigation.

I must admit, I've not bothered checking supplementary bonding recently - naughty boy - most of the pipe work for radiators is speed fit, and the hot & cold is hidden away behind bathroom furniture And when the place is visited by just a plumber, you wouldn't see him bothering to check. There, I've said it now.

Was the requirement for bonding ever tested?

I can't see the point of testing a plastic pipe Pete?

Ps albeit it has a metallic core of some description.

Should have realised "Speedfit=Plastic" Doh

No but, you make a good point. I often check pipe work etc, before work starts to verify. But quite often when I go back, its all plastic, been altered and the floors been put down. If the pipe work can't be clamped elsewhere, some customers will get a bit annoyed having clamps and green/yellow cable everywhere. Just saying.
