    No you don't need to main bond if it's plastic coming in. I can find the relevent regs if you need it.

    Holy crap!

    Yes you do, you can only dismiss bonding if both incoming and in property pipework is plastic.

    I ask you, what would happen should you be leaning on your class 1 microwave and turning a tap on and there is a live conductor touching any part of the internal plumbing to a property which has not been connected to earth?

    even if plastic comming in to copper you have to bond, and if any of the pipework reverts to plastic, then back to copper then this must also be bonded
