hi all. ESB cable is currently unclipped as we are doing wall insulation, Ewi. Mains joins property at side of house, runs along front soffit to meter on the far side. 4 bends in total. could ESB run their cable around the rear of the property. Its straighter ; 2 bends at corners. Any regs on this? Many thanks.

You have to put in the red ducting from the nearest pole to the new meter box. They have a fee for moving the meter.
