Visible cable in garden. Who to contact.

DrPips

Hi, just moved into a new house and tidying up the garden today and noticed a cable going from an access plate thing in the pavement over the pavement before going under a flower bed. Luckily I didn’t chop through it, but I’m assuming these cables shouldn’t be on the surface.

Any idea who I should contact to get it sorted?

Thanks,
Dom

It looks like cable TV to me Virgin or whoever supplies your area

Diamond Cable was taken over by NTL who were then taken over by Virgin.

Agreed, looks like a cable TV cable. The other end of it is visible in the background of the second photo, going into a brown box then coming out along the front of your house.

It's definitely a Virgin cable. Their installers are complete cowboys and make a total bodge of things, that quite good compared to the ones I've seen around here. I doubt they'd be interested in tidying it up.

Had our lane re-surfaced last year. Asked Virgin if they wanted to do anything about several lengths of their (unducted) cable exposed at the edge of the road before the big machine planed four inches of old tarmac away.

Didn't bother to reply.
