Recommended checks before CU change

Former Community Member
Former Community Member
As most of you know I’ve only been qualified for just over a year and I’ve got a quote to do for a cu upgrade.


I know I’m nowhere experienced enough to do EICR’s yet, but what would you guys recommend I check/test before doing the cu upgrade and should I do these checks/tests at the quote stage?

    Fitzy71:

    kitchen stop c*** on the other hand is a bit more difficult as the stop c*** backs on to the conservatory, but in the garage is a water pipe coming up through the concrete garage floor at the back and this is where the water has been bonded.  Would this water bonding be suitable for the whole water installation?

     




     

    Stop cocks are irrelevant.


    The water supply pipe - if an extraneous-conductive-part which it will be as it comes out of the ground - should be (main) bonded where it enters the premises where practicable.


    If it is the same pipe as the one in an attached garage (not clear from the description), then that would suffice..
