What are you supposed to do?

Hi all, I've just started working for myself, and as am sure is the same for some of you guys, work is hard to come by.
My problem is, according to whats right, before you you start any work, your supposed to do a pre-work survey, paying particular attension to main bonding. Now the number of times i have gone to quote on a job, then brought up the subject that the main bonding should be upgraded, or even installing it, I just get the feeling that the customer is thinking, "oh here we go, lets see how much he can fleece us for". Now what do you guys do, If there not interested in getting that done, do you just walk away and loose the job, or do you do the original work and hope knowone pulls you on it in the future.
Hope this makes sense, thanks.

What you could do is what ive done in the past you get the feeling of what people want to pay so hide the bonding in the costs for the quote then when installing if they ask what you are installing its a requirement all inclusive worked for me and they think they have a bargin

I have a leaflet which the Niceic produce, it's explains bonding and earthing both supplementary and main , I photo copied them and give them to anywhere I work where the bonding is not up to spec, I have similar leaflets explaing what RCD's do, why you may need them and a leaflet on recommended tail sizes by the ECA
