oops forgot to mention tails, cant believe someone who has already changed cu`s is asking these questions

Ditto

i would advise some additional training before attempting the work, its a bigger job than people think and can cause a lot of problems, judging by your questions i would doubt your competance.
Gn3 will give you a lot of info on the testing procedures also look up on earthing and bonding

As above test first before you dis the existing. Is this for your assessment ? I thought you had to be registered To become a arms member?

so if bonding is not there is it a must that it is done before the work or do i note it down on the cert and then the customer decides whether to have it done??

customer if the bonding isnt there or isnt up to scratch dont do the job if customer wont agree ! you will need a wander lead for bonding testing if you dont have one make one ! If its for an assessment most people do their own CU change or rewire or for a mate or family etc as its easier to get them to agree on what needs doing ! if its for an assessment make sure your install is up to bs7671 as you will fail if it isnt and if not for assessment then the lbc will tell you what you need to do to rectify it before they test/insp and issue your cert.
