I've been back today ( concerned about the " no earth whatsoever TBH )  

Made a futile attempt to find a redundant lead water pipe which I intended to use as an earth electrode  ....ended up filling the hole up again , have to get my mate to go and relay the block paving  :(  

So , 6 earth rods later   (Stepps would be proud)  I got a reading down to 98 :eek:hms     Back tomorrow to fit some boxes over the clamps.

Western Power Distribution...

Yes  Western Power controls th network here .

 
Well down here they are excellent at maintaining their network.

So, they should be up there too!

Why can't they sort it?

Have you got through to your local engineering office and spoken to them rather than the call centre?

 
I went down that road 3 years ago , thats when I decided to use their cable sheath as a TT   earth electrode , as the rod readings were poor.

They replaced the head , as shown, and fitted that TNS conection ,  which has deteriated in the 3 years .

Edit;   Last time I asked for an engineer they refused ,  must go through the system .  

We used to know the engineers at the old MEB  but thats all gone now .
