I bought my house about 5 years ago, the consumer unit had just been replaced but there were still a couple of lights (1 under the stairs & 1 outside) wired to an older box. I removed the old box and wired it into the new one some time ago. I noticed that the supply into the house (1930s) which runs between the party wall and pops in just above the meter has damaged insulation. The cloth outer is completey missing on one section?. Is this okay? The other thing is that I have no earth. I have an earth connection to the incoming lead water pipe, my side of the gas meter and the rest of the internal plumbing. Is this enough? There is certainly no earth connection to the metal main fuse box (not my side of the meter). Is this a problem? Is it my problem? What should I do?
Thanks
