Hi there all,
Im new to this forum, after browsing some of the threads, have found some very informative information on here.
I used to work with a sparky about 2 years ago and completed my 2382-10 (I Think!) but never got round to becoming part P as work stopped (something about a recession). Ive been doing general building work since and still helped a few sparkys when I can the work. Anyway, im in the process of completing my 2 jobs in order to apply for NIC domestic route.
One of the jobs is a barn conversion im doing, which will be ideal as ive done everything from start to finish, so know exactly whats what. The other is adding 2 extra sockets to an existing ring. Its a pretty new installation, and at the MET have located 2 bonding cables entering, ive located one end at the gas meter, the problem is the other one I ASSUME runs to the mains water pipe, which the builders have conveniently boxed in and put kitchen units in the way. I wanted some advice on where I go from here? I need to confirm the water pipe is bonded and was wondering if there was anyway other than massacring units!

Another quick question, this ones a lot more simplier, on the NIC certificates, in the design construction test box, there is 2 small blank boxes, just wondering what im meant to write in there?

Many thanks,

Rob
 
as regards the water bond. can you get a wander lead to the water pipe close to the point where you assume it's bonded? measure res' to MET.
 
I wouldn't be happy until I could see the BS951 clamp to be honest. Can't you get a jigsaw and cut a neat hole? Or use a 3 inch holesaw.

The issue is that I cant actually see where the pipe runs etc, all i know is its behind one of the 4 kitchen units, problem is its a custom made kitchen so i cant even just pull a unit out to see. So I know for the future, what would be the process if you couldnt get to the bonding clamp but could see it the cabel (which is labelled) leave the MET? One of them situtations which crops up so would like to know how to deal with it. Thanks for the swift replies!
