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

I fail to see why the DNO's cable cannot be left uncovered.
