Hello all,
Been to look at a shower installation today. House is a mews style house where its upstairs but there is nothing downstairs as its a roadway through to the parking at the back. The fuse box is downstairs at the back in a cupboard type thing which is under the stairs but the only access to it is from outside. The floors in this place are concrete no floor boards - I guess because its a road underneath so running a cable up from the fuse box internally is going to be a challenge to say the least, I was thinknig of running some SWA externally up the back of the house and putting that through into the loft - would that be ok?
Secondly the bonding hasn't been run to where the water incoming and stop cock is. The stop cock is in the bathroom boxed in so you can't see the pipework only the handle of the stop cock. Next to the bathroom is the airing cupboard and next to that is the kitchen and the bonding cable has been run to the pipe under the kitchen sink which is visible and 10mm. The house was built about 15-20years ago. I'm guessing it was run to there for access and visibility. Is this going to be ok left there or will I need to run a new cable to the stopcock although if I do that it won't be visible once I have boxed it ack in again. It only 2 meters max from the stop cock.
Thanks
