1st fix earth bonding query

by gifford4671 » Wed Oct 23, 2024 12:25 pm

It’s been a while since I did electrical work, 30yrs as I had a career change.
We are building an extension that will have a bathroom and kitchen. I have a question about earth bonding.

Lost on my head is the memory of running a 10mm earth cable from the distribution board Earth and connecting it to any exposed metal such as water, gas ect at the point of entry into the building. Is that still the case?

2nd - supplementary bonding for the kitchen/bathroom. Is that a seperate run of 10mm earth to the kitchen and connect to pipes and exposed metal and then continue to the bathroom and connect to exposed metal, pipes ect? The shower will be electric

Thanks for the advice in advance. I just need to know enough to do the first fix as my spark can’t be here for 4 weeks so trying to do what I can and then he can check it all
