Planning on getting some external insulation done on my house. One issue the installer has raised is the Virgin cabling on the outside wall. House is a standard semi d in an estate. I currently have
an entry point low in a wall where the current Virgin cable for TV etc comes into the house. need to check but it's probably low enough now to be an issue
the cable that runs between house to house high up on the gable, again I don't see that being an issue providing the installer can work around it and he thinks he can
However, I also have some cables running down the side of the house and into a hole in the ground, I presume they are routing back to a Virgin cabinet somewhere on the road. I don't want to bury them under the insulation
Has anyone dealt with a similar issue in the past and do I need to get Virgin out to temporarily move them and then reinstall. Like everything with Virgin, I'm trying to avoid spending an hour on hold to talk to someone who won't have a clue what I am on about
