You have to ask the custy who there supplier is, then its the custy who has to arrange it and foot the bill for it as well,

you will then have to arrange times for you to do the Job but it will have to fit in with the electricity board. HTH

We have jet washed round loads of those electrical cables and there has never been a problem.

If you are concerned it would be cheaper to knock a cheap wooden cover together so it doesn't get soaked

Rob its not the soaking that concerns me its the fact that with an ali pole contact might be made between the wires and the pole

I've come across this a few times and they need to contact the power company. They will then come out and sleeve the power cables from the house for a couple of metres down the lines to give enough room for scaffolding to be carried out etc. I don't think you will need to have the power off for all the time you are doing the work .

Maybe a rubber pole is the answer, invent one quick before everybody jumps on the bandwagon
