Hello,
I have enquired about this upgrade from my local provider and was advised that I need a certificate from a qualified electrician before they will proceed.
On inspection the electrician stated that the existing earth bonding needs upgrading from 6mm to 10mm running from the CU to the Gas and Water pipes.
No mention of upgrading the existing earth from the Earth rod to CU. I assume because it will be rendered useless once the PE is available.
Additionally suplementary bonding would be required in the bathroom etc. He also mentioned tests on this earthing.
My question is - What is actually necessary? Do we need to confirm to Part P for the Earthing to get the certificate?
What is a resonable cost to obtain this certificate?
many Thanks
