We live in an early 1900s mid-terrace cottage. The mains supply comes in one side of the house, from a pole in the street, through an open eave. It then crosses, at attic floor level, to the other side of the house where it drops down to the meter/consumer unit cupboard at first floor level. Across the attic, the cable is laid-in loose.
The eave, where the cable runs, is currently insufficiently insulated, and is letting in considerable draught - even on relatively calm days. I'm assuming that the cable should be secured and I can address that, but does the cable have to be kept away from the insulation? As things are, if I don't/can't re-route the cable the insulation material would be laid over it.
The cable is slightly less than 15mm O.D and, if it is relevant, the supply fuse before the meter is 60amp.
TIA
