over roof cable issues

I have had cable over the roof since 2000 when it used to be NTL
never had a problem till yesterday i got an email from my landlords lawyer
telling me the owner of the shop downstairs has made a request for the cables to be moved away from the valley between the two properties as he said the cable is sagging and causing problems moss and gunk is collecting

All it needs is the cable to be raised away from the valley and he will be happy
so long as its not dragging down into the valley between the two properties

there is access to this roof through my lounge window
who do i call to do a job like this or is it easy enough to do yourself

Re: over roof cable issues

If there's enough slack move the cable yourself. If moving it means it needs extending then you'll need to get Virgin to do the job. I think VM take a dim view of customers interfearing with their cables and it might have other consequences.

Aw ty for replying

it looks like theres enough slack to add some pins to the tiles on the roof
i was looking at some L shaped clips online
its not the fact doing it myself i dont think i have enough gutz to go on the roof

who would i call VM would prob cost an arm and a leg just to move it 6"
when actually it was not secured by the installer in the 1st place

But if i have to i supposed id have no other option but to get someone out

ty again

Do remember health and safety says were not allowed on roofs full stop... Some engineers choose to ignore this but not many
