As for the sub-station blowing up, You can take that with a large pinch of salt!!! lol!!!
I'm actually washing it down with a couple of cans of Cider now lol.
Whilst I know NOTHING about the supply side of installations I did kind of gather that this was just a MASSIVE exageration lol
Is this an older lead sheathed cable??
Unfortunately not, I did suggest to the client that it appears the change has occured and then the earthing been forgotten about. Perhaps the previous owner was supposed to have rectified it and then stalled when they realised it was more cost?
Quite surprised they offered to come round at all, if there wasn't an existing connection they have no remit to supply you with one.
To be honest this could be the reason that it's been like it for the last 5 years.
Thanks for all of your posts, very much appreciated:thumbsup
