Thanks, that works be brilliant.

Not sure either Festool (60 or 120) is really in budget. The Festool Kapex 60 is about £850 but just doesn't have the depth or length of cut. The 120 model looks great but it is almost £1.5k!!! Think I need ot stick to the 'mid' price options.

I have ~£600 to spend on a mitre saw. Three that jump out: Bosch GCM 8 SDE: https://www.campbellmillertools.co.uk/products/bosch-gcm-8-sde-8-double-bevel-sliding-mitre-saw-240v-0601b19270 Bosch GCM 350 254...

Update on this: I didn't have time to refit the sink so left it sat in place meantime. Over a few days, the foam started to compress under the weight of the sink (though only at the sink end, the lighter draining end still sat proud). Encouraged by this, I got some better clips (where better...

No, it fits great without the foam. Nice and flush all the way around. If the clamps arent't there to compress the foam, what is meant to compress the foam? It's pretty springy and the sink is really not that heavy.

I did overlap the foam but posibly not enough. I had about half (~3mm) in and half outside the perimeter of the sink. Didn't want to go too muchg thinner than that but maybe that is how the tape is meant to work?

I tried and failed to fit a new kicthen sink yesterday. Simple top mount stainless sink but without a raised profile around it's perimeter (just flat stainless steel). The sink came with a roll of adhesive foam tape so I applied that to the sink and lowered it into the hole in the worktop...

Hawd the bus!! I never said the EV fitter didn't fix the issues. He double checked my earth bonding and did indeed tighten the screws in the Henley block. My greivance is purely with the initial meter swap insatall.

The Electrician who I had install our EV charger this weekend confirmed it needed to be earth bonded. He also found that the main incoming leads from the meter were not tightened down in the Henley Terminal Blocks that feed the consumer units. This stuff is really dissapointing.

Yep.

Sorry, I don't have pic, I reconnected it. We're on a PME system, there's no ambiguity, we need the gas main earthe bonded. It's an exposed metal pipe that emerges from the ground and runs the length of the internal garage wall (past the meter FFS). It is almost guaranteed to be at a different...

We had new elec and gas meters installed a couple of years back. Both meters are in the garage and the gas main passes through the garage along a wall. I was just tidying the garage and noticed that the earth bonding that was attached to the pipes as they entered and exited the old meter have...

@JohnW2. Thanks for your detailed response. Just on your last point above. While the connection to gas and water mains is intended only as part of the equipotential bonding scheme (and so shouldn't be relied upon to perform other functions), does the current path I highlight in picture 10 not...

Love this from @JohnW2 : 'I think you'd have to ask the person(s) who did the 'mandating' to get an answer to that question. The situation is, again, obviously probabilistic, so it's all down to whether the probability of harm is considered high enough to warrant pre-emptory action/regulations...
