[QUOTE="Kevinho, post: 458120, member: 29827"] Thanks Andy. Yes, I expect to pay - but it is also true that I don't think it is safe where it is (I doubt any roofer will be prepared to work on the existing roof). They are not helping by failing to maintain the thing - can't believe it is OK to leave it so overgrown that you can't see the transformer - just some sizzled vines where they get close to the 11kv cables. They've also run the poles a dumb route over a tall hedge and trees - lines have come down a couple of times in the last 3 years (last time was in the recent snow) and the best solution all round would be to bury ~200 meters of it, which I'd be happy to contribute to cost of and dig trenching - but just can't get them to discuss (just goes back to cost of moving it 1 pole). I assume this is what happens when you have a single supplier in a position of strength :-( [/QUOTE]
