is it possible to get this sorted out years later?

my access point on the pavement is also missing its cover and has become filled with earth.

looks like BT pulled up the paving slabs and stuff to install a pit next to their pole and didnt bother to re-install the VM access point properly.
You will be referring to a Tee cap, its not vital this is in place unless a cable repull is required, if theres a blockage then this can be cleared by the contractors.

You can arrange a team to come and rebury the cable but I think theres normally a £100 charge for non fault callouts (customer service guys confirm?). If theres enough slack on the cable you could try reburying yourself?
