Can a telecoms provider install cables in my garden – even though I'm not their customer?
I would like to know if it would be permissible for me to prevent a telecoms provider coming on to my property to service and replace cables. My house was built in 1970 and at that time Cablelink were effectively the monopoly provider of multichannel TV. Their solution to cable our housing estate involved running the cables along the front of each house above ground-floor level, daisy-chaining from one house to the next. Over the years, they have replaced these cables and added various boxes and widgets. That perhaps did not seem odd when almost every house, including ours, was using their services. However, it now seems odd to permit entry into my front garden and to allow the retention of somewhat unsightly cables and paraphernalia on my house when I am not a user myself and I don't know if any of my immediate neighbours are either. Would I be within my rights to direct the telecoms provider in question to remove the cables? I suppose that I might not have room to say no, but it does seem odd that a utility provider that I do not use can put cabling on the face of my house. Also, if I am getting work done on my house and there is damage to the cables, could I be deemed responsible? There is one location where the cables running between houses has put a height limit (about 2m) on bringing items to the back garden. So, there is a real scenario that ladders and such coming through as part of maintaining my property could collide with this infrastructure. It is certainly of no benefit to me that these cables are there placing a height restriction. READ MORE Telecommunications providers may have legal rights to install and maintain cable infrastructure on private property based on historic wayleave agreements; these are agreements made for the continued access to maintain any services that runs through lands you do not own. [ I'm worried about our home being devalued because our neighbour's trees block light. What can we do? Opens in new window ] Wayleave agreements are typically agreements that can be renewed or terminated by either party. In this instance the provider you refer to would be given the right to maintain and service cables, with an annual payment to the local authority or management company, as the case may be. To determine whether a valid wayleave agreement exists, you should request a copy of any agreement that the provider may have relating to your property. It would then be advisable to consult a solicitor who can assess the situation and provide appropriate legal guidance. Section 4(1)(g) of the Planning and Development Acts 2000-2012 grants exemptions for statutory undertakers (which includes authorised telecom operators) to inspect, repair, renew, alter or remove cables or other apparatus without planning permission provided that the works are necessary for maintenance or operational purposes. The provider could also argue that they and their predecessors, have maintained and used the cable infrastructure on your property, openly, without objection and without explicit permission for over 20 years, and as such they may claim a prescriptive easement to continue maintaining the cables. [ What's the best structure to manage the common area of our small development? Opens in new window ] If you accidentally damaged the provider's infrastructure, liability would generally hinge on whether the cables were clearly marked and whether you took reasonable care. Typically, a wayleave agreement would involve an obligation on the property owner to not knowingly damage the apparatus and must give written notice (generally six months) if planning any work that could negatively affect it. Such agreement would not prevent the owner from altering or redeveloping the property but would necessitate notifying the operator if the work may affect the apparatus. It is probable that the provider has sufficient legal basis for the continuance of their infrastructure on your property. But it would be reasonable to request the adjustment or removal of the cabling that is placing the two-metre height restriction on entry to your back garden.

Mysterious keys and stale food ‘among most ridiculous items home movers find'
Keys and cables with a mystery purpose, food well past its use-by date, single shoes and menus from defunct restaurants are among the most ridiculous items that home movers have uncovered while packing for their new property, a survey has found. Gadgets that are past their prime are also among the most bizarre items that people have unearthed, according to the research for Compare My Move, which commissioned a survey of 2,000 people who have moved house at least once. People were asked to select up to three items. Three in 10 (28%) people said a bundle of cables that fitted no known device was among their most ridiculous items, while a similar proportion (27%) had taken a mystery key or keys. Nearly a fifth (18%) had found old mobile phones, while one in seven (14%) had a remote control for an unknown device. Around one in 10 (11%) people found birthday cards they had bought years ago, while a similar proportion (10%) uncovered clothing with the tags still on. Nearly one in 10 (9%) found food which had gone past its sell by date, with some saying this was several years old. One in 16 (6%) found a single shoe rather than a pair, while 3% discovered unopened Christmas or birthday gifts and 8% leafed through menus from closed-down restaurants. Unused appliances, such as ice-cream makers or sewing machines, were also highlighted by 6% of home movers, perhaps for hobbies which never got off the ground. And 7% said 'cringeworthy' teenage diaries had been among the most ridiculous items discovered by home movers during their pack. Some discoveries were pleasant, however, as 7% had found misplaced jewellery during their move, according to the survey carried out by OnePoll in May. Dave Sayce, co-founder of Compare My Move said: 'It's no surprise to see random leads topping the list of the most baffling items people uncover when packing for a house move. 'We've all opened a drawer and found a tangle of wires we can't match to anything we own – it's a common side effect of modern life. 'Keys with unknown origins and old mobile phones follow close behind, reminding us just how easy it is to lose track of items over the years.' Mr Sayce suggested decluttering before packing and donating or selling unwanted items on.

Riyadh Cables has order book of 139,000 tons worth SAR 5.2B
Borjan Sehovac, CEO of Riyadh Cables Co., said the company holds a confirmed order book of 139,000 tons valued at SAR 5.2 billion — its highest ever level — which will support revenues over the next 12 to 18 months. In an analyst and investor call attended by Argaam, Sehovac said the production mix saw an increase in the share of aluminum, while the proportions of copper and aluminum remained stable compared to the same quarter in 2024. He noted that demand for high and extra-high voltage cables is driven by electricity interconnection projects and the transition to renewable energy, especially as 70% of solar power projects in Saudi Arabia rely on this type of cable. The trend remains strong in both Saudi Arabia and the region, the CEO said. Commenting on Q1 2025 financial results, Sehovac said the 52% profit increase was supported by a rise in sales volume and improved operational efficiency.
