I've just been practising using my own house for testing as part of learning qualifications and discovered there's no continuity in the Main bonding conductor from the gas installation pipe. 
(Another case of cobbler's kids have worst shoes etc)
Anyway I obviously need to rectify this. Unfortunately the current main bonding runs through joists etc and gaining access would be a real upheaval.
The gas meter is hidden in cupboard in basement which is my office and child free zone, it is effectively same size as my sitting room and dining room upstairs. It's a nice living room with dug out basement windows etc etc, not a damp old cellar so I need pretty solution.
Anyway I figured that the best way is to run the main gas bonding conductor to the other side of the room where CU & MET are situated would be through some conduit surface mounted which I could run across the back wall.
Finally question,
Who makes the best conduit that is not too ugly. I have always chased cable in my house, but as walls are treated with all sorts of DPM materials, lotions and potions to stop penetrating damp attacking the wall is absolutely no option.
Is there a really small conduit for running a single 10mm cable through thats not pig ugly.
Need a real sparkies solution here. College doesn't teach this sort of practical thing!!
