Electric cables attached to my house

mimou

I need to have emergency new fascia but there are cables attached to my existing fascia going between all the houses on the street who do I contact to move them so this urgent job can progress ?

Needs investigating although we had a similar problem with some underground cables going the length of the street which turned out to be inactive (we never found out what they were used for but they were took out).
I would contact Western Power Distribution and possibly BT Openreach in case they are phone cables, ask them to send an engineer to have a look.

Are these mains cables or telephone?

Your DNO - distribution network operator. Call powercuts on 105 and they should be able to give you contact details

(assuming these are mains electricity, not phones or anything else)

Some were early piped TV distribution cables - Redifussion ?   Most likely though - electricity so start there.
