The cables come to the corner of our semi-detached and go along the facia board to next door. They are very old and coming undone.

We had a similar problem. I phoned the supplier and they put in a new pole on waste ground , and rewired BOTH houses right back to the meter box independently so that NO wires were on our fascia board. Later on I got a handyman to remove the old wires and fitted white plastic fascia boards on top of the old wood. NO more painting!!! In the U.K. you are not allowed to interfere with installations from the pole to the house. FOOTNOTE there was NO payement.

It has no business being on your Facia Board if it supplies the Next door neighbors home. Call the Power company- and inform the neighbor.
Report it to Code Enforcement if nothing is done.

in most places the owner is responsible for everything past the splice between the triplex and the service riser including the attachment point to the house. it sound like you are refering to the service riser so its all your's. the cable for the riser is between $1 to $2 per foot, the new straps are about a buck each, the new weatherhead should be under $20 and the labor maybe a hundred to 2 hundred bucks. you may also have to pay for the electric co to send a crew out to kill your power at the pole while the work is being done.

Generally the cable to the "Weather Head" is the power company's. It does not sound like a "Legal" connection according to current codes. Power lines should not be attached to any other building other than the building being supplied.

1. check the local zoning restrictions. 2. talk all the neighbors into supporting his business, then it will have taken off and he can move it. 3. start a competing business, perhaps sell hot dog buns. Post you own sign in the yard. You could call it "My Buns - The Best for all Weiners."

If the electrical wires are before the meter service then the responsibility is that of the utility.

Call your local electric company. They should come out and take care of the wire as a safety issue. Tell them your afraid it will start a fire if it shorts out.

the electric supply authority. ring your supplier as soon as possible,
you are only responcible for the installation AFTER the electricity meter.
