I too have never seen anything written that says the Bonding Conductor must be a single unbroken length. Good practice- yes, a requirement- not quite convinced. OP, if the water and gas are close to each other, i imagine the cost of getting a spark in with the appropriate tools and...

Agreed, they might not be, but i think they easily can be (thinks JCC fireguard as an example)

oh dear. You may find that some people here will not like your suggestion too much. By default, i always use fire rated d/ls whether necessary or not. Generally, the fire rated type will also be compliant with the various bits relevant building regs. (thinks parts, B, C and E). No...

-Easier, mmm, possibly. -Necessary, no. -More expensive, yes, probably by a few hundred quid

Ditto Riveralt. OP, can you post a photograph of your fuse box (AKA consumer unit). -The answers to Riveralt's question might be just as easily answered from this

shhh, don't mention conveyor belts :P

won't they become anglighters? or maybe skotlights?

D'oh, noticed that just as i posted. <facepalm>

post deleted (read the title, Mik, read the title....)

it seems like a reasonable solution, as already mentioned by Westie. If the spark involved is a bit dubious about doing it that way simply because 'it is not written so in the book' then suggest to him that he could describe the installation in the deviations/special notes section of the EIC...

I think the reason why surveyors like to offer such comments on the electrical install may often be mis-understood. Rather than it being a way to have unsuspecting punter pants pulled down to the tune of £5000 (or £1289+VAT) i think it has more to do with the surveyor distancing him/herself...

Is it just an average sort of microwave or some kind of industrial jumbo jobbie? On the face of it, a dedicated 16A circuit seems just a tad OTT

Wow, thats quick service, posting the problem at 3.12pm and the spark has been round and identified the problem by 4.41pm :) SS and TTC, I wonder if a bit of rewiring to get rid of the borrowed neutral has caused the spark on the job to fit RCDs to cover the new work, so meaning new board...

that work is terrible. It would be interesting to see a pic or two of the insides of some of the wired switches/sockets, just to see if it shows any more shoddy details, but agree with other posters here that the OP perhaps should be cautious about how much is said or shown here until after...

Hi membergd, It sounds like rubbish to me too, but since I don't know everything about everything, I was reserving judgment just in case miracles do happen and this particular guy actually knows what he is talking about. (He does seem to like the sound of his own voice and has a tendancy to...

What about the claim that new build houses after 2016 will not be supplied by mains gas? Has anybody heard anything to support (or reject) this claim?

I wish this ti t would lighten up a bit. What an utterly ridiculous suggestion! It does make me wonder what darkness exists in the mind of a person if (s)he is prepared try to taint a persons opinion with suggestions of peadophilia, disgraceful! Sheddy (won't be, but) should be...

Is this the answer?

Could you use/install 2 sockets? Might get rid of the 'enough slack?' problem if it exists.
