Looking for advice on disconnecting a redundant power supply to my property.
The current power supply comes from beneath the ground to my electric meter located in an external box at the rear of my property.
From the front of my property and attached to my chimney is a supposed redundant supply which I wish to remove due to work I am about to undertake on my roof/chimneys.
There supply is routed across my garden in which there is also an electricity pole which is not in great condition.
I have contacted sse regarding the removal but just have a couple of questions,
Will I have to pay for its removal?
If this is the case, can I remove the equipment myself?
And if not, why not? Surely if the equipment is redundant then the electricity supplier has a responsibility of removal?
