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

Plumber tells me I need an earth wire from the consumer unit to the
outside gas meter.

This is quite difficult to achieve without leaving lots of earth cable
visible. Are there alternative options for me? Also, as the incoming gas
supply is plastic I can't see the point.


My understanding was that the point of connection to piping should be
accessible so that the presence and security of a pipe clamp and cable could
be checked in future.
If this point would be under flooring at the point of entry into the house,
shouldn't the connection deliberately be made in a cupboard or other
downstream more accessible location anyway??
