[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 519257, member: 250"] It is quite unusual for there to be no bonding in place, unless no alterations have been done for many years.. As for a long time wiring regulations have required that earth and bonding should be verified before doing any alterations temporary or permanent.. However if it does need doing you basically need a 10.0mm CSA copper wire connected between your incoming gas pipe and the electrical earth in or near the consumer unit. Obviously the further the distance between the two the more expensive it will be.. But as a rough guideline a 25m drum of 10.0mm can be purchased from Screwfix for less than £25..

Plus whatever the labour costs are within your local area... But the bottom line, as Andy said, should not be too alarming, or that expensive to remedy. :coffee [/QUOTE]
