[QUOTE="Doc Hudson, post: 440942, member: 1607"] No idea who or what this electrical safety authority is supposed to be? Is you contractor a member of one of the electrical trades bodies, NICEIC, NAPIT, ECA, STROMA, BSI, i.e. is the condition report on their logoed paper. If so you should be able to make a complaint to his trade body. As has been said It would be good to request confirmation of which regulation numbers he thinks things like bedroom shade are contravening. Back to the stop tap item (C2, F/I), as far as I am aware you cannot have two codes for the same observation, you can only put a C1 'immediate danger', or C2 'potentially dangerous', on an item that you have proved to be dangerous. If it requires future investigation then you do not know at this point if it is or isn't dangerous. There are thousands of properties where old bonding connections have been buried behind kitchen cabinets or boxed in around the down stairs toilet. You can get a reasonable idea if there ever was a bonding wire by looking at wires at the fuse box, (though as looping is permitted, it may not always be the case.) A simple continuity test between the pipe work and electrical earth can give a pointer to if bonding is present or not. Doc H. [/QUOTE]
