no earth in lighting curcuit

[MrA]

all of the earth cables for the lights are in the switches (connected) and in the cealing rose,s (connected) but i have no earth in the lights,where do you think the disconection could be ???

Does the circuit loop in at the switches? (are there 2 or 3 sets of wires for every single switch?) Possibly they took the earths to the switches but left them there, not carrying them on to the lights. Fools.

PS. May i enquire, why are you bothered?

EDIT: OR you have a junction box system, with the loop in at junction boxes in the ceiling. Can you get into the loft? Check here.

 

[MrA]

theres two earth cables in each box, and each rose has a light going to and from it, (i havent found the last rose in the chain yet,)

I had a frend do a quick test (niceic) he even gave me a report, (nice)
I am letting my home out in a few months, so was hoping to do as much as i could before i have to get my inspection report

If you have a NICEIC report, why are you concerned?

 

[MrA]

because i have No earth in the light circuit, and its mentioned in the report, obviously

 

[ban-all-sheds]

all of the earth cables for the lights are in the switches (connected) and in the cealing rose,s (connected)

i have No earth in the light circuit

The two are not compatible.

What exactly does the report say?

Why not ask your friend what you should do?
