Water and gas pipe bonding checked, renewed and tested. · 5.0 Star from 51 reviews Re-energize Electrical checks and renews main earthing and protective bonding to water and gas pipes, the safety base an installation relies on. ## Earthing and bonding price It depends what is already in place. We look at the installation first, then state the figure for the work before anything is booked. - Earthing and bonding: from £100; £100 for up to 1 services to bond (gas, water or oil), then £100 per additional services to bond (gas, water or oil). - Adding missing bonding is a smaller job than renewing a failed main earth. - Where the supply itself needs the distributor's attention we say so before any figure is given. ### Included - Checking the existing main earth connection - Main protective bonding to water and gas pipes - New or larger bonding conductors where needed - Clamps and connections at the pipework - Testing of earth continuity and fault paths - A written record of the results ### Not included as standard - The EICR inspection itself - Gas or water pipe repairs - Work on the distributor's cutout or supply cable - Renewing circuits beyond earthing and bonding ## When earthing and bonding is due Earthing and bonding are what make fuses and breakers trip fast enough to matter. Older homes and changed pipework often leave gaps that only show on testing. - **After pipework changes:** New boilers, plastic pipes and moved meters can break old bonds. Any plumbing change is a prompt to check. - **Found during an inspection:** An EICR often lists missing or undersized bonding. Renewing it clears those items off the report. - **Older installations:** Houses wired decades ago may have bonding that no longer meets what the regulations ask for today, or none at all. ## What happens on the day Most earthing and bonding work is done in one visit. We check what is there first, fit what is missing or undersized, then test before leaving. - **What is there gets checked:** The main earth, the meter position and the water and gas entries are looked at first, so nothing is renewed that did not need it. - **Bonds fitted where missing:** Conductors are run to the water and gas pipes, clamped close to where each service enters, and connected back to the main earth terminal. - **Tested before we go:** Continuity and fault loop readings are taken and written down, so the result is on record rather than assumed. ## How booking works 1. **Tell us about the job:** Tap Book Now and describe the work in the chat.

It ties metal pipework and other metalwork to the main earth, so if a fault puts voltage on a pipe, protective devices trip instead of leaving it live to touch. ### How do we know if ours is missing? Often you can see it: a green and yellow conductor clamped to the water and gas pipes near where they enter. If there is nothing there, or the clamps sit on plastic pipe, it is worth a check. ### Does new plastic pipework change things? Yes. Plastic sections break continuity, so bonding has to be placed where it still protects the metal that remains. A survey shows where the clamps need to sit. ### Is this disruptive work? Not usually. Conductors are run along skirting, through cupboards or under floors where they can be reached, and the work is normally finished in one visit. ### What if the main earth itself is the problem? Then we say so plainly. Some earth arrangements need the electricity distributor involved, and we will tell you that before any figure is given rather than after. ## Business facts - Service area: Swadlincote, Burton upon Trent, Derby, Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Stoke-on-Trent, Wolverhampton, Birmingham, Nottinghamshire - Hours: Calls answered 24/7 - Phone: +447450316338 - Email: rob@re-energizeelectrical.co.uk - Insurance: Public liability £2M, Employers' liability £10M, Professional indemnity £500K - Qualifications: Level 3 Award in the Requirements for Electrical Installations BS 7671:2018, City and Guilds, 2022 ## Book or ask a question - [Book Now](https://www.re-energizeelectrical.co.uk/#chat) ## Related services - [EICR](https://www.re-energizeelectrical.co.uk/services/eicr) - [Consumer unit replacement](https://www.re-energizeelectrical.co.uk/services/fuse-board-replacement) - [EV charger installation](https://www.re-energizeelectrical.co.uk/services/ev-charger-installation) - [Electrical fault finding](https://www.re-energizeelectrical.co.uk/services/electrical-fault-finding) - [Electric shower installation](https://www.re-energizeelectrical.co.uk/services/electric-shower-installation)
