equipotential bonding

[Notasparki]

Hi, just wondering if anyone can give me some advice. I have recently had a new combi boiler fitted. The problem i have is with the bonding. The old bonding on the old boiler was simply an earth cable running from the pipes to the earth terminal on the cooker outlet, which i know is not acceptable. The boiler is in the kitchen and no where near the main earth terminal with no easy path back. The pipes coming out of the boiler are copper but as soon as they go under ground they join straight to plastic. Could any one offer me some advice on how to bond this boiler safely and as per the regs. Also, the gas pipe heads in a totally different direction so cant use that.
I'm open to any suggestions. Thanks

Where do the water and gas services enter the property? are they bonded to current standards, its those that should be bonded (within 600mm of point of entry and before any branches), not the boiler

so if the main inlet for water and gas are bonded, i dont need to do any additional bonding on the boiler?

No.

And if they are not bonded where they enter the property then you need to sort that out properly, not bond the boiler pipes.
