I am having a bathroom installed and the fitter called out a electrician to wire up the whirlpool bath. I wasnt in but in basic terms he refused to do it as he could not find the earth rod. Forgive my ignorance this is what i see....the house is about 12 years old, rural location. There are only red and black mains cables at the connection box, but at the consumer unit (with RCD) there is a large earth cable. There are also earth bonding connections to the water pipe which run through the cavity in the house (timber frame)
As its only 12 years old surely it has a rod, if not have they earthed to the water pipe?
If so whats the guys problem dont we just whack in a £2 earth rod and run a cable from the consumer unit to it??
