This is what was meant by bonding:

Had a visit from a UK Power Networks engineer today, he checked the earth in the flat downstairs and found a fault in the cable there. He fixed it and my flat is all good now. But when he was bonding my earth I asked him what type of earth it was, TN or TN-S or TN-C-S or something else, he...

Not yet, hopefully on Friday, when back home

Here is a response from UK Power Networks As before the year 2002 any house then built it was NOT of the responsibility of the network operator to fit an earth connection. It was down the owner of the house to arrange to have an earth fitted for them by a private electrician. Therefore, if the...

Let me re-phrase. Is it Ok to insulate the inside (in the room) walls on the Street facing walls. Not between two heated rooms No, it is not damp

Internal Wall Current Cavity wall insulation is old and may have failed (the house is cold) to take the insulation out and re-insulate the cavity will cost £5000+

Hi guys, Would it be Ok to insulate internal bedroom walls with non-breathable boards, something like Marmox or similar. The main concern, as it is non-breathable, will it not damage the walls/plaster in some way, damp, mold, etc. The walls are with cavity (insulated). Thanks,

Thank you

Thank you for clarifying. If the light circuit earth has no bearing on the CU installation or EICR, does it mean the electrician was overly cautious or he just does not know the regulations well enough? Would absence of the Light circuit earth be described as Code 3 'Improvement recommended.'...

Hi Guys, I had an Electrician check my flat a few days ago and we scheduled a FuseBox replacement and the EICR checks. He came today saying that he cannot do the work because the light circuit does not have earth. It is an old flat, built in 1930s. Is earth on the light circuit a requirement...

Hi Guys, Need a new consumer unit installed. I have a smart meter and my electrician said he cannot do this as there is no isolator between the meter and the current consumer unit. Do I need to find a way to install an isolator, or can the consumer unit be replaced without and isolator, even...

Hi guys, The older Board is not used (I believe) as the electrical heaters have been removed a few years ago. I am asking about an RCD for hager. Need RCD is just for safety.

No, sorry

Hi, not quite sure. Possibly from this? It is located underneath the other one.

Hi guys, Can someone please advise if it is possible to install an RCD into this unit, I mean if a professional electrician can do this? Or do we have to replace the whole unit? Thank you,
