Got a TT installation but the earth rod is in a flower bed that will shortly be a step to the moved front door surrounded by a block paved drive.
System at present is TT via 2 overhead cables. No obvious earths down any of the supply posts.
I have asked my supplier whether they will convert to TNC-S and am awaiting a reply. Can anyone comment on my chances of getting the supply changed over? EDF Energy area but my supplier is Atlantic Electricity and Gas.
DIY bit if I have to stick with TT. The solid porch floor needs re-tiling with another layer of ceramic tiles on top of existing. To get an earth to an earth rod in a suitable area it would need to cross the porch. Can I cut a channel for the earth wire in the floor and lay conduit for an electrician to use when the rod is moved? If so how deep does it need to be and does it need to be covered by anything special? Total run would be about 6 metres. How thick would the cable need to be so I can get the right conduit.
Thanks as ever for any replies.
