[QUOTE="twecotong, post: 455198, member: 29680"] Hi , i am looking for some advice. I recently had some works done including a new kitchen. The electrician ran a new cable from the fuse box to an induction hob and said because of this he would have to do an EICR report which i understand is fair enough. He has now said he cannot issue an EICR which i need for building control sign off due to the fact my gas meter does not have an earth bond within 300mm of the meter, which is in the regulations he says? I am not sure how this is relevant, the house is 15 yrs old and has an external gas meter. the floors are concrete and there is an earth bond to the gas main at the boiler which used to be a garage but is now converted into a room. There is no cable running to the gas meter and with it being concrete floors i would need to dig up a freshly tiled floor....If it regulations then how did house builder get away without installing one when the house was built? Can this be right? i am now in a bit of a pickle as i dont know if he is being honest or just looking for more work? I live in Scotland Thanks for any advice [/QUOTE]
