There is an earth bonding cable running from the gas meter to the CU but has
been fitted to run over the surface in an unsightly way. To hide it I will
have to extend it and go the long way round. I understand bonding has now
been frowned upon - so before I embark on this awkward task - is it
necessary? (Edinburgh flat)

Main bonding is still needed!

a 10mm through crimp is what you need (and a pair of crimpers)

Electrical cross bonding for the gas meter is still a
requirement.

It is also required to run ubroken (no joins)

If your meter is outside then it is prefered that the
bonding connection should be as close as possible where
the pipe comes into the building on the inside.
