Bit more advice needed guy's, dug down a bit deeper this time and discovered the clay pipe that is supposed to connected to the cast down pipe, looks like someone had put a half brick on top of the clay pipe and blocked it up on purpose, suspect council guy's did this and put down some bags of...

You could zip tie the cable to the down pipe, that way it will keep the water off the wall.

If it was that simple, yes I agree with what you say do it right in the first place but, next door don't seem too concerned as to the damage this is causing, plus the fact that most of the digging would be in there garden then the pavement onto the road to reach the manhole they would not be...

Thanks for the replies guys, thing is Vinn it has been like this for some time so has been discharging into the ground, i have dug it up a few times to free the roots and noticed the underground pipe had collapsed which runs through next door at 45 deg angle so would be a costly repair, the...

My house is a semi with the down pipe in the middle of the building, between me and next door, its leaking at the joint, the reason for this is the hedge roots are growing up the down pipe as the underground pipe has collapsed, i discovered this when i dug down to find out what the problem was...

But the remaining black...

Talortwotittes, I did not say it was hard, YOU DID, you must be good at growing MUSHROOMS because that's what you have done here, if you cant give a bit of advice without trying to be a smart arse, then your advice I can do without.

Last time I changed one of these it only had 3 wire's, this new one has 5, Earth yellow/green. Black/Brown Live (paired) Grey/Blue Neut, (paired).This cable is fitted to the new Hob about 1.5 mtrs in length. The old one to be removed has a length of twin and earth, flat grey cable, about 3mtrs...

Yes thats the one Andy, problem is they are called Swift fencing then when you look it up changes to Fencing Glasgow, Derby, Norfolk, etc etc, they claim to have reviews but could not find any which is why I asked on here if anyone had used them.
