Hi, Bit of a strange problem: Have an extension on end of property that was done about 12 years ago I think, it consists of a utility room downstairs & bathroom above. In the utility room there are 3 sockets which when tested show no earth! All other sockets in main kitchen are OK & the utility ones seem to be on the same circuit as the kitchen ones (they isolate with the other ones in main kitchen.
Presumably there is a break in the connection into the main kitchen socket ring (all earth connections in sockets are OK), big problem is that the flooring upstairs above the extension is a bathroom with stone tiles
I appear to have 3 options:
1. Rip up the bathroom flooring or possibly the utility ceiling to try & find connections
2. Run entirely new cables from existing ones in main kitchen
3. I don't know if this is possible or not - Could a new ground earth rod be fitted & connected to the utility wiring?
Appreciate anyone's thoughts
Thanks
