Electric cables

[bigsteve]

Hi I'm doing my first Ewi job what do you lads do when there is electric cables on a gable end do you leave a square round it or do you take them off and then put them back after its done

 

[raggles]

If you mean the main supply going in to the house i would imagine you would need to get the local power company to remove and re-fit. It's something i would deffo not touch i have worked around then in the past and they can fairly make the airs on your arms stand on end.

I would definatly inform the elec company.
Either way you need a sparky

That'll be 2.5k cos generally they have to knock the leccy off for the whole street while they do it. I was talking to some one today who had to have it done for and extension on his house.

£2.5? I remember working in Doncaster in the 90's Yorkshire Electricity came and did it for free.

I will have to remember that one. I have took them off myself in the past for re-render. Always get a bit of a tickle up the arm.
