I had a periodic inspection carried out on my house 4 weeks ago. The report shows that there are 4 items requiring urgent/remedial attention:
1)Supplementary protection not satisfied to socket outlets reasonably expected to power equipment outdoors.
2)Main earth bonding found to be inadequate.
3) Supplementary bonding conductors not installed within the bathroom areas.
4)No ring final continuity on lives downstairs ring main.
Don't understand any of this.
Am trying to get an electrician to do this work (including the firm who did the report) but don't seem to be getting anywhere. I appreciate that this needs to be done but just how urgent is it? I was told by an electrician on Tuesday that I would have to have the floor boards up to locate the fault at number 4. He seemed most annoyed that this was laminate flooring (not my choice as I only moved in 5 weeks ago). Apart from reading the report he seemed convinced that the fault lay "underground".
Please help.
