I will have to tell the amalgamating tape around the junction box to the alarm cable in my field to the barn that it should not have lasted twenty years, naught tape. 🤣
You have a field and a barn? You kept that quiet.

What ever next - a former owner of property in mainland Europe?
 
I wonder if you are using fluke, as there was something about double nulling causing problems.
Let us know how you got on.
Interesting didn’t know about the double nulling issue. Yes using a fluke 1653. I’ll keep you updated next week once re-test done
 
Do you have any news ?
Hi apologies for the delay, I have only got around to re-doing the test yesterday as caught up between jobs. I used my colleague’s tester and got 0.10 then I re-tried my Fluke considering the possible double nulling when I did the test previously and got 0.11 so looks like I might have double nulled when I did the test before. Thanks for the heads up on that
 
I asked him at the time and he said it was electrical tape. Assuming he should have used self amalgamating tape?

It doesn't matter, it doesn't need any tape at all.
The lead sheath is fine to be left exposed, the extra layers on top were there for extra protection underground or in harsh environments.
