We've just finished a big renovation on our property - new boiler, etc.
We've had our gas certificate and electrical certificate, all passed on to Building Control and all was fine.
The thermostat wasn't working properly so I called in the manufacturer who sent over a service engineer.
Turns out there is nothing wrong with my thermostat, I was just not understanding the controls!
However, as part of his visit he said he was obliged to do a safety check - everything was fine, except he said he had to point out to me that there is no earth bonding at the gas meter (which is situated outside my property).
In the same breath, he told me not to worry as about 50% of homes don't have this, but he was obliged to note it and point it out to me.
Now, I don't know whether my builder / electrician should have done this as part of signing off our works to regulations? Or whether I should just leave it? We haven't fully moved in yet, so if it needed to be done, now would be the time to pull up boards and carpets.
Has anyone been through the same?
And, if you've had this done, was it a big upheaval?
