We have a monoblock driveway and need to ensure that the instillation is done properly as we are only renting. How do we speak to the contractors to know what they plan to do and to make sure our landlord will be happy with the work before it is carried out?

Just make sure you are in attendance at the install - otherwise anything can (and does) happen.

What you might consider is installing some inconspicuous conduit tubing along the route you want the cable to take from the Tee (or another property?) to where you omnibox will be connected.

Then install a pull rope (some strong string) inside the tobing so they can pull the cable through your tube.

Hi @Schnorbs

Thanks for posting on our community forum

If you're present at the install the team will be happy to discuss what works they're looking to do, we can't confirm via here and they wouldn't be able to confirm until they come to the property on the day.

It's easy to say that the customer should be present to ensure the cable is run correctly.

But the outside cable work is often done in advance of the actual connection, by sub-contractors.  They don't always notify the customer when it will be done, and it's just about impossible to know which day they will come..

Hi Schnorbs

Thanks for the post 

just checking to see if you have any updates yet. 

The Team that attend may be reluctant to remove any of the Monoblock driveway incase its gets damaged

Are there any other routes that the cable could go?
