EICR Gas bond

aligarjon

HI guys.   I did an EICR this morning on a small domestic bungalow that was completely renovated/converted 6 years ago. There is no main bond to the gas . The water is all plastic.  The incoming gas main to the external meter is plastic.  The sole gas pipe into the property is buried in the floor screed and is obviously copper. This is a new gas pipe done at the same time as the other works.   My gut reaction is it should have been bonded as it's basically buried in the structure but then i can't see exactly how the pipe is run, there is a plastic insert through the wall but i don't know if it continues through the screed. Where it pops up out of the screed there is no plastic pipe, just bare copper.  As yet i have been unable to get access to the original EIC.  The rest of the electrical work has been done very nicely and it looks like they new what they were doing.   Any thoughts please.

    Thanks guys.   It only supplies a boiler.  Cooking is all electric.   It doesn't go through the foundation , to be fair it may well be above the floor inside then dip down into the screed as where it enters is behind or under the kitchen units.  I didn't look in that much detail at exact height.  I couldn't see how to measure the pipe without actually disconnecting which i wasn't overly keen to do as it was in a bit of an awkward spot after being boxed in.  I have noted in the report my slight concern but trusted the designer who installed it as the rest of the installation was very good. So a little bit of a cop out on my part if the truth be told but i am confident it is safe as it is.
