I am having a new kitchen fitted and the electrician has given me a quote to run an earth wire from the consumer unit to the incoming water mains pipe.
Also to add a main RCCB as my Square D Qwickline 12 way consumer unit only has a main switch, he has told me it isn't possible to get a RCCB for my existing consumer unit and is adding a separate fuse box linked to the existing one via a Henley block.
My questions are, the house was only built 15 years ago, do I need a earth bond to the incoming water pipe, all bathroom pipes seem to have earth wires attached, and is it possible to add a RCCB to my existing consumer unit?
I intend to run the earth bond cable myself if it is necessary, can someone tell me the correct cable and size for this?
