You can do this all yourself without using a third party.
As you rightly suggest, you should contact your DNO (WPD) directly as they have a wayleaves department that deals with this.

I had these issues with SSE (my DNO) and we came to a very amicable financial arrangement at the end of the day. However, I did have an 11kV line oversailing my property and one pole.
Sorry to butt in, I've just been searching as we've had a number of letters through and I've just binned them. I notice you said you had issues with SSE, I've looked & that's who we're covered with and wondered if you could let me know how you claimed through them.
