I'm having central heating installed, 75% done.

Plumber tells me I need an earth wire from the consumer unit to the

This is quite difficult to achieve without leaving lots of earth cable

Is your plumber an electrician? Why is he even getting involved in
this?

Any CORGI plumber worth his salt would check for main equipotential bonding
on the gas and advise the customer that it needs doing if it is not done.
