There are 4 flats in my building and none have any bonding to the outside gas meters.
When the meters were moved outside the existing bonding was removed and not re-installed on the outside.
I could simply connect a 10mm to the gas boiler which is 2m from the CU or the stove which is 2.5m from the CU BUT that would not comply with the 600mm from the supply entry. Any other way would require pulling up solid hard wood floors and draggging 10mm cable 10m under floors and up walls etc.
Can I get away with using the boiler gas supply (this is almsot the same possition as before the meter was moved) and I would have thought would protect the interior stuff better as the resistance in the pipe over 10m would be greater than 2m. Is the 600mm absoute?
Can the bond from the meter go to the main earth for the flat in the meter cupboard which is in a hallway 5m from my CU?
Otherwise what resposibility does the gas company owning the meters have to comply with bonding regs when they move a meter and remove the existing bonding. Can I just tell them to make it good?
