no im quite pleased there are people out there willing to give advice. every little helps (tesco please dont sue im skint) end of the day i just want the electrics to be as safe as they can be for me and my family

i think im in the wrong type of business. Ripping people off (i mean renting to people) is the way to go

thanks, i probably will just get onto the housing after the sparks been monday. i will ask him for his professional oppinion and seeing as he is working on the electrics for the boiler i guess its his duty to ensure the electrics are ok for what he's commisioning.

that pic is the old one, i believe the tide is out in my CU this season

the spark thats going to change the CU is going to put in a split load CU to accomodate future needs and to RCD the necessary loads. but he is the guy who said the lack of the mains earth wasnt a problem. think i may need to get an indipendant spark to look and pay them for a PIR if its not too...

multiple ends on 5a - would this not be the lighting ring? 1 30a for cooker (not on RCD with a socket which is used for outside appliances) that needs changing 1 30a for downstairs sockets (via RCD) 1 30a ring for upstairs floors also the incoming fuse is 100a (used to be 80a but the...

how much would a PIR cost me if i was to get this done on my own behalf that way i could go to the housing assoc with if, if i felt i was being given the run about by them?

well i will try get them to give me a copy if they can (even if its just a scan of it while he's on site) not sure if milner build will do that though

i have put up pic 37, 38, 39 so you can see the mcb ratings and ends into them

will this be mandatory when they replace the CU? or should i not even wait that long and get onto the Housing assoc asap? also do they have to provide me with any certificates/paperwork as the tenant or only the landlard i.e. the housing assoc?

also if anyone is interest ive put up picture 36.jpg, inside the consumer unit so you can see how the earth is setup. the thickest is the one coiled up next to the Mains electric supply the other 2 are the water bond and the gas bond took these pics when i had water leaking inside the CU...

thank you all for your advice. i will speak to the electrician when they come but that wont be untill monday. i will let you know what they have to say monday

no sorry in picture 5 & 7 the main incoming fuse from the supplier was changed and is that not where the earth is usually bonded to? should they not have connected it even though it wasnt already? (also it is the feed for next door - dont know if that matters with earthing) the comsumer unit...

we had some leaking issues into the consumer unit a while ago and the housing assoc sent a sparky out who didnt seem to care about the earth as its down to the electric supplier. and when we had them out to change the electric meter he said that its not mandatory and so didnt want to touch it...

Beeston - sorry for the late reply

sorry, i am in beeston on dewsbury road. i have a sparky coming out hopefully monday to permanantly wire the boiler to the mains so might point it all out to him but i reckon he'll dismiss it too. (except the the water mains earth as that should be part of his boiler electric commision shouldnt it?

ok so here are the pics: http://www.arcintl.force9.co.uk/elec/ the ones in particular to save your bandwidth are: 1.JPG 2.JPG 3.JPG

thats correct, now i have had a sparky and a guy from DNO who both seemed to dismiss my concerns on the lack of earthing to the incoming mains electric supply as i have earth bonding on the water mains? but yes the plumbers have disconnected my earth bonding to the water mains leavng the gas...

ok so heres my story....today we had some plumbers in to install a new central heating system. they ripped out the old gas fireplaces (one of which was the back boiler) and the tanks in the airing cupboard. they installed in the cellar a combi boiler. i noticed now they seem to have removed the...
