"Earth Bond Meter within 600mm of Meter with 10mm Earth Cable"
Presumably new regs etc want earth bonding on the Gas Meter (I have a sticker about bonding on there), is this something I could do?. I can see that the pipes are earth bonded to what Im not sure.
Should I be overly concerned about this?
Yes this should be done, and is an easy DIY job
Information at
Both services should be bonded to the main earth terminal at the consumer unit.

And there must be an unbroken connection from the bonding point to the earthing block. There must be no joined bits of cable or junction boxes. You can use the same cable for bonding several locations, but mustn't cut the cable, just strip off enough insulation in the middle to be held by the terminal.

Random thought. Would welding be acceptable as a method of joining?

Unless you crimp any connections that you make that is.
Brazing, welding or soldering are also not allowed, although you can make a joint at an actual appliance earthing terminal, a proper compression crimp connector or a pipe strap, but nothing else is allowed because of the situation of a hidden junction box with a loose or broken termination within it.
