The dreaded bonding again

Kelly Marie Angel

Sorry for this but my boiler recently had her annual service all was well except they said I don't have any bonding in place except I think I do the gas main is bonded in the meter cupboard and the radiators and hot and cold water feeds are all bonded in the bathroom upstairs. All pipework is copper throughout the plumbing never been altered in 40 years except for a new boiler oh and removal of the water tanks. So can I be confident the bonding upstairs is good enough?

    You cannot verify the earthing method just by visual inspection of the supply cable. There is a fair chance that your external supply cables have been repaired by inserting a length of 3 core wavecon cable making the earthing TN-C-S (PME).

    I am so tempted to ask SSE to tell me my earthing arrangement. If they have good records, they will tell me that I know fine well 'cos I saw them “PME” the cable under the side lawn. No wavecon anywhere between me and the tranny across the road!
