    The primary place to report faults or for service requests is Customer Services on 0345 454 1111/150 if you have a VM landline or wait two or three days for a VM staff member to get to your post. This board is not a fault reporting system.

  • Hi paigeleigh1 

    Welcome to the Community. 

    Sorry to hear of your concerns about a protector missing from your wall. 

    Are you able to advise, do you mean a cover for the box attached to your home or wall, or are you saying a plastic coating for the cable has been damaged?

        Okay, it's possible that an engineer can replace this if it's on the property. If it's a cable that should be buried, then this would require rebury work, which is different. 

        We can arrange for the engineer to replace an omnibox coverings and they'll be able to advise if this is something they're able to do for you or order the rebury work if that's what's needed.
