Earthing of TN-S: who should pay?

[wozz]

What 'guarantee' do they give exactly?

They are shirking their responsibility by saying it was never TNS, although no one can prove it I bet it was. The mood and time of day they turn up has more effect on the out come than rules.

They are not shirking their responsibility if this is, as I suspect, a DIY job. Put it this way, if I install a circuit in your neck of the woods are you going to come out for free to repair it if something goes wrong?

hang on. just seen the pics. that BS951 may be a DIY jobby, but the corroded green clamp above it is a DNO fitted TN-S. so it's up to DNO to sort it FOC. end of.

Yep that verdigris copper clamp was the original DNO clamp. Some clot has transferred the sheath earth to a BS 951 clamped to what looks like the the steel tape armouring!! Get the DNO back, all that needs to be done is that original copper clamp removed and replaced with either a Hepworth clamp or a constant force spring clamp, and the earthing cable reattached to the chosen sheath clamp
