That surly isn't main bonding but supplemental bonding that has been done away with under the 17? Would look absolutely awful and what benefit would you get? The water itself conducts.My take on it would still be to bond main gas and water. The 17th regs are still hazey on existing installations. You will find that although the main gas service will be poly pipe underground, it should be steel galv above ground.Gas should be bonded within 600mm of the meter. Have also come across situations were copper pipes through out the house have been joined by plastic push fit joints. This meant that all pipe work had to be bonded between every joint. That was a real pain.On the point of the c.u. being in the same room as the shower. This is a total bend on building regs. Sounds like the electrical cuboard has been altered to make room for an additional shower room. This should have been moved during the original conversion.
