It was mostly caused by greed anyway.

Great case for PEN fault protection to be installed as standard at the main intake.

In my view, it's high time that TN-C-S be abolished and all new installations be supplied as either TNS or TT. Simply accepting a combined PEN conductor on cost basis should never have been allowed in the first place...

Sadly the Gas industry is not actually any better. So many sell an ‘Annual Service’ and what they actually carry out is an MOT, which is a usually just a probe in the flue. You have many unqualified too with one person signing off and registering installs. Not a benchmark for quality thats for sure

Honestly this has become so common it's ridiculous. Every time I carry out a Gas Landlords Check or EICR I'm checking for it and if found passing it on to the DNO, whom are slow to act if at all. I have to say though I do not look forward to reassessments every five years for my electrical qualifications on top of an NICEIC inspection every year if this Lord would like a "robust system like the gas competent persons scheme" in place.

This is excellent in its way but will any action be taken? Failures of the PILC distribution cables will continue and increase. It is a direct consequence of the privatisation of the electrical distrubutiin network operation where maintenance is a dirty word.

New builds come with a plastic gas supply pipe. To solve the neutral faults the old supplies just need a short plastic section of pipe at the meter.

What, so you'd leave the fault to go unnoticed until someone ran an extension lead out of their house and suddenly found the earth of their supply had a high potential relative to mass of earth?

The boss probably wanted 4 tests a day.
