What type of cable is this?

[jimllshiftit]

After last weekends high winds i see that the anchor for this cable has pulled out of the wall. I guess I can simply put it back in to where it was and repoint it but actually I want to move this cable anyway as its in the way of the roof of a building I want to start putting up soon.

Could someone here identify what cable it is, please? Ive always assumed its telephone but I dont want to make any assumptions. Also, who can I ask to move it about 6 meters along the wall from where it is now?

Thanks for reading and I look forward to hearing from you.

I think it might be overhead power cables, which are common in rural areas. If this is the case, the National Grid people have to deal with it. Moving the position might be tricky, and they charge a fortune for alterations. Offer the guys a good drink to do it; it will be far cheaper than an official reposition. It depends on how easy it would beto do.

Thats exactly why i didnt want to make any assumptions about what type of cable it was, although I thought it was a bit too low gauge for electric cable particularly as its going off to another property.

Thankfully the Nationalgrid offices are just down the road from me and I can think of a couple of people who might be able to move it for me. Ill make some enquiries. Cheers.

Leave well alone it's either national grid or your DNO you need to contact

Do NOT touch that. Report it and it’ll be fixed for nothing
