As part of my bungalow renovation, I am splitting what was a large extension utility room into two
There will be a utility room and a bathroom seperated by a plasterboard wall with a door in it
In the utility room will be the new combi boiler, washing machine and tumble drier
The gas and mains water enter the building in this room so will be seperately earthed back to the CU and the boiler will be cross bonded. The controls for the bathroom extractor fan and waterproof low voltage lights will also be in the utility room
What should I do with the bathroom earthing as it was originally part of the same extension and is as I said, only seperated by a plasterboard wall.
Is it really neccesary / legally required ?
If so, my understanding is that all pipes cold hot and central heating should be connected together and one earth cable taken to the nearest
lighting earth which will be outside of the plasterboard wall. Is this correct ?
