I had a line that goes under the eaves of a house temporarily pinned to
the wall and wrapped in red plastic whilst the guttering and fascias
were replaced. The cost was zero. I had to give a large window of time
so that they could fit the job in with others in the area. (East
Midlands). The cables feed many houses so that may have influenced the
issue - but H&S seemed to be their concern.

Split plastic tubing over the wires seems to be a favourite.

Of course we are assuming that this is a low voltage line, something
which the OP has yet to confirm.


How remiss of me, it is the single phase supply to myself and my
neighbour.

If you don't pay your bills, it will be disconnected for free. Of course,
getting it reconnected afterwards will be more expensive :-)
