A friend may put his house on the market. He had a new CU fitted 8-10 years ago. Double RCDs. An earth cable goes from the incoming supply to the CU. The CU is under the stairs. I noticed that the gas outlet pipe is bonded to an adjacent water pipe that disappears under the floor in a cupboard opposite. That is it. Anyone have any comments on this.
 
So do any of the bonding cables on the pipe go back to the CU?
 
When you say looked did you islolate and remove the cover of the CU ?

Or are you saying there is simply a short link between the water and gas pipe ?
 
No need to test. Looking is enough. What I described was where the earth cables went to and from.

What exactly is the question then? Sorry if I've missed something.

yes there is need. how else do you know if the gas and water are bonded back to the CU/MET?
 
No real question. Just comments of the validity fo the installation.
How can people can comment on the validity of the installation with scant information, some pics may help we do not have crystal balls.
