Hello,
I'm in the process of replacing my main bathroom in our house. The
house was built in the the year 2000. So far I've removed the old
bathsuite and stripped the walls down to stud partition so it's
looking pretty bare at the moment. I've noticed that only the radiator
was earth bonded. There are no earth bonding tags on any of the copper
pipes to the bath, basin or toilet. Is this right? I thought that all
metal work in the bathroom had to be bonded. The ensuite bathroom is
the same.

Thanks

Pete

Could have been done under the floor, or behind the wall. Technically
it should be accessible in some form, although technicalities go out
of the window on new builds usually.

Blimey... I still haven't finished the ensuite I started installing in
2001...

TF I'm not alone in this sort of thing.

I just like to work slowly!

Take heart guys, it took me 10 years from the time the bathroom was
rebuilt to getting the bath refitted and the room decorated. The loo
and sink were functional and we had a shower room elsewhere. In terms
of decorating thought and effort more went into the bathroom than
anywhere else in the house!

It comes back to bite later! Four years after starting the bathroom
refurbishment it is still not quite finished.

Now, we have moved but are letting the flat out, I have until 1st May to
finish the job off as well as installing a new kitchen and sundry
re-decoration.

I wish that I had got off my arse and done it at least two years ago :-(

The correct word is thoroughly, not slowly if SHMBO asks

It only took me 3 months to do my fence. The actual time spent working on it
in total was 3 working days so I blamed the weather.
