External wall insulation and mains supply

Former Community Member over 3 years ago

I'm having external wall insulation installed on my house, and the mains supply to the house is via an overhead cable. The insulation installers have put the insulation over the mains supply cable, i.e. where it's clipped to the wall between bracket and meter box. The DNO is Western Power.

My question is, is covering the mains PME cable with 90mm of insulation acceptable practice?

Thanks, Pete

Not very professional of them…………… You would have thought that they would have received some accreditation to comply with Building Regulations to self certify and during that process, had been advised of the position regarding DNO property.
Have they done a runner or is your electrician trying to defend their work?
