I'd tell my mate the bonding needs sorting, then sort it.
If he couldn't afford to pay straight away, I'd give him time to pay.

I donate some of the tails from my totting* pile

This, got a bit of an arrangement with a friend who's a mechanic, we just trade labour. Which is probably more immoral than paying in cash :lol:

Not chatting about jobs for mates anymore, but typing in "bonding" on the ESC website's search brings up a useful pdf to download and show to customers. Explains things nicely to the customers that question the extra cost and work.

Yeah, I got that too. If you type 'Bonding' into the search bar you get a news item, which is what you are referring to. You need to dig a little deeper...

You have to do what 'allows' you to sleep easy at night and if that means walking away or doing the job without bonding in place, so be it. But, you can soon lose a friendship when the **** hits the fan and someone is injured due to the lack of bonding. It's a litigious society we live in and I prefer to cover my arse. OK, somebody else will do the job, but so what, to me it's not worth £50 against snugly warm bo-bo's with the Mrs

The ESC will send you a supply of leaflets. I hand them out to the customer and 9 times out of 4 (can't do maths) the customer agrees to the bonding when they read/see the 'offical' leaflet (I know it ain't official).

Leaflets are also great when it comes to accessories in a bathroom.
Me - "No, I'm afraid you can't have that swanky new wall light you just spent £200 on directly under your shower"
Customer - "It's my house, I can do what I like"
Me - "But I'm afraid I can't fit it for you. Although it says 'Bathroom light', that doesn't mean it can go under a shower"
Customer - "But I want it"
Me - "Look, here's a picture of a bathroom showing you what can go where"
Customer - "Oh, now I see. You should have just said that I can't have that fitting there then"

And B&Q saying suitable for a bathroom , then in brackets "outside zones" does not help.

Spot on mate. I always give them the IP rating they need to look for now. Saves a lot of arguments.

The box should say "Bathroom light, but not suitable for many bathrooms" most of the time

Just fit a clamp and a short length of cable, then tuck the end behind something. At any point in the future you just hold the end of the cable and say the magic words "bloody plumbers" whilst shaking your head, "it was all right"!
