Needs some advice please
I had my front garden concreted. whilst my contractor started digging the garden he exposed an old electrical live cable without a pot end.
Rang electricity north west came out and looked on its laptop it used to be a old street lamp cable.
Now my property used to be a pub with side land which is our garden now at one time there probably was a street lamp on the land.
The north west electricity guy called an assistant (im assumin there must be a policy u need 2 people to work on live cables). He came out put a pot end on it and buried it on my land.
I thought that was that but after 2 half months i recieve a bill addressed to the HOMEOWNER for £1040 labour and £38 material for repair to the damage of the cable
There was no damage! It was exposed connected to nothing i rang in they came out and put a pot end on it and buried it on my land
Also how do they justify £1040 labour for less than half hours work
Do i have a case ????
