Since my first post I've got a bit interested reading replies.
I can't get under the stairs at the moment but from memory my supply head cable has a sort of clamp on it and a thick earth cable comes off it and into an earth block.
From that block an earth cable goes in to the fuse box, also from that block are two earth cables both go directly to the gas meter and the water stop cock.
Why is it not necessary to put an earth block into some type of enclosure, is it because it's unlikely ever to have current going through it?
When earth sub-bonding pipe work, from clamp to clamp and so on, why is it not permissible, ( or it might be ), to use an earth block, come off of that and go clamp to clamp, it amounts to the same thing don't it?
At the moment my boiler has earth clamps on all the pipes and all viewable above the worktop and it looks horrible, I suppose they can be boxed but why can't those clamps remain indiscrete behind say a base unit back with an opening for inspection, is there something in the regs against this?
