[QUOTE="Rob_the_rich, post: 421125, member: 8419"] i missed this too, oops. If the ceiling light is already on a 30mA RCD, then there is no need to put supplementary bonding to the hot and cold water pipes, but only if the ceiling light passes a loop impedance test. Else the bonding needs to be in place. The immersion heater is not in the bathroom location, so does not need RCD protection, but might be prudent as said above. It is also possible that the immersion heater does not have an overheat thermostat fitted (with a reset button), it should really have one, depends when the immersion heater was installed whether it had one. An EICR should highlight any problems with the installation, no guarantees though, you could post any report you get here for the perusal of the forumites BEFORE you pay for it.:) [/QUOTE]
