2 parts to this really. 1) If I get a standard gable ended detached house roof redone (new membrane, new tiles), will the roofers need to remove the fascia/soffit/barge as part of the job? 2) If they do need to remove the fascia/soffit/barge, is it normal to be able to reinstall the parts...

Something else occured to me. Am I correct in assuming the bonding needs to be routed within the house (ie that a route around the outside of the house, at something like dpc level, would not be acceptable)?

Ah :| . Well, that presumably makes replacing the CU a significantly more involved task then, given that the kitchen and garage are at opposite sides of the house. I wonder whether a 10mm2 cross section cable could be attached to the CU end and then pulled through from the sink end. I've pulled...

Thank you. And yep, spotted the mispost :oops: so swapped it. The bonding to the water pipes is in the kitchen, so won't be going to the CU. There is a tap in the garage that would be 1.5-2m cable distance away from the CU though, so should the bonding to water pipes be there instead? I...

Here is aphoto of the earthing at the water inlet / stopcock. The cabling heads down below the bottom shelf in the unit so can't see where the other end attaches. Oh, and the stopcock will soon be replaced with a plastic push button type valve. One other thing, do the images I posted...

The gas inlet to the meter is a yellow, large diameter vertical pipe that is topped with the corrugated pipe you see in a couple of the photos. Inside is actually a narrower blue plastic pipe as the gas pipework in the area has all been renewed by push through. The outlet is copper for teh...

Thanks all. Here are some images. Hopefully I've got everything needed. Added in the attached doorbell transformer and socket to show rough design of everything else too. BTW, box has Wylex logo on it. Yellow tape had a list of 'which fuse is for what' on it.

Couple of follow ups. 1) Are there brands of CU that are preferred (quality, reliability etc) or to avoid? 2) What should I expect to be tested in a 2014 standard PIR? eg % of sockets, switches, all circuits or just a few?

The only possible socket alteration since installed was one single socket swapped for a double, but I'm not 100% on this. Could simply have been a replacement of a double with double. Shower isn't an issue. So, sounds good to me on the usability of the existing cabling, assuming of course it was...
