I have been told that when upgrading my old style fuse box with a new consumer unit it needs to be double earth bonded. The existing box has an earth bond running to a gas pipe 30cm away but this is the only metal pipe nearby. My water mains pipe runs under the house and emerges over 20ft away from the location of the fuse box.
Is this correct and if so, what are the options to meet the regulations?
PS This is not a job I will be going anywhere near myself but just wanted to make sure I knew what I was letting myself in for if floors had to come up (concrete!!).
Cheers
