[QUOTE="Bruspark, post: 469996, member: 20106"] The Bonding could well be there (and electrically testable) but has become hidden behind plasterboard etc or, under floors etc. depending on where the services enter the building. Often happens with garage conversions. Officially it needs to be capable of inspection too as the size and termination of the cable matters - not just that it still exists 'somewhere'. Although you can make a stand over it if you have unarguable previous evidence of it 'being there' the easiest route with least potential for trouble or 'forced additional work' at future inspections / visiting gas/electrical/plumbing / tradespeople is to have a new bond of the right type fitted that is and will remain visible. Check the Electrician is a member of an appropriate body and willing to sign it all off when it is done [/QUOTE]
