[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 501241, member: 6969"] Forget the earthing, that is the least of your problems. Total load worries me more. I counted THREE electric showers on your drawing. That is going to grossly overload your one incoming supply if 2 or more are used at once, and particularly with a holiday let, that is very likely. I would be looking to get the DNO to provide a new electricity supply to the holiday cottage (and get rid of the overhead wire over the road). If you can avoid electric showers I would. An unvented hot water tank and thermal mixer shower gives a far better shower in any event, and a much lower electricity demand even if heated by the immersion heater. What did the EICR say before you bought the properties? What does the electrician that's going to wire the shepherds hut say?
