Condition reports

Can one just take there best guess at a reference method on a condition report, assume worst case senario or leave it blank? After all one is signing to say cables within the fabric of the building have not been inspected.

thought I'd jump on this thread as it's kind of relevant, rather than start a new one. What do you electricians do who work for yourselves when a customer wants a fuse box changed to a 17th edition board, but don't want to upgrade to 10mm bonds? To turn work down seems stupid, when no bonds 4mm bond...

if the zs is fine i would suggest it's your leads or test equipment. are the leads in good condition? are they nulled? is the test equipment calibrated? are you making a good connection with what you are testing?

this is completely normal. earth and neutral are connected together at the suppliers end, and in many systems earth and neutral are combined up until the suppliers cut out in the property. get a pro in for any electrical additions or alterations in your kitchen.
