As we near the end of our project - did I actually type that! we are replacing / covering the old soffets with a plastic overboard. The problem I have is at one end the power comes into the building via a pole. Said cable is attached to an end bracket on said rotten soffet.
I'd like to replace the timber. I'd not like a massive bill for the work, preliminary discussions with the power network bods have mentioned a lead time of 12 weeks and a cost of £1200-£1500. This seems a mite toppy to me! hence wanting to know more...
The cable in question is on the far side (distribution side)of the meter (as opposed to domestic side).
If the Soffet fails then the cable from the pole will drop across a bridleway. Who's problem is this? Am I responsible for the cable where it crosses my property? or only up to the meter? The Pole is not on my land and services one other property.
