Due to have this done next week, slightly concerned now.

It has been mentioned the cable could either be run under our new path! Or done overhead.
Hopefully it can be done overhead, won’t be too impressed if my new path has to be dug up, think I am in my rights to not have the work done on the day if I don’t like in what is presented to me?

How did you get on @Stonesmike

Funnily enough the wi-fi stopped working five minutes after my posting, luckily enough I had the right connecting wires ( engineer took original wires with him 🙆 ) connected to the new fibre box and hey bingo.
Apologies I thought I was responding to another thread.
The open reach contractors came out today and was done from overhead and did drill from inside so all good so far.

Its amazing that anyone would consider repairing paid contractor's work / dammage unless you were speciffically warned and accepted the risk. Just because its 'easier' to bodge someone elses work than to get them to do it right / restore to a good standard is simply shoddy. Or is that your level of work practice, bodge it leave it worse than before with some one lse can sort it out if they're bothered?
Grate british workmanship ethic, no pride, no quality?

I strongly suggest people in glass houses refrain from throwing stones
