Hi Chaps.
Hope you can help me. I purchased mu house now 2 years ago, and it needed alot of work. I have fitted a new Kitchen new bathrooms started every room from scratch and now im nearly done. I have changed all the sockets and light switches for chrome ones, and wired in new switch locations in the Kitchen, by cunning the ring main under the floor attaching a junction box and then witing out an extra cable to my new sockets. Additionally i have earthed all the pipe work in the bathrooms.
What i want to do now is have a new fuse box in stalled as its an old wired one so if a fuse blows i cant just flick a switch. I'm told that i need to update my earth supply to the fuse box by connecting it to my Gas piping, I have no problems doing this, is it correct and what earth cable should i use? Then im going to get a sparky to fit the Box (as i think that changing this is even above my head). Is there anything else i need to do other than present a new earth before i call one in? and does anyone expect me to have any issues with me having done the work i have described above.
Any advice welcome.
Cheers
