Expose the conductors and bare a section of each by removing the insulation, follow the colour coding and twist the ends together, wrap in insulating tape - preferably self amalgamating.

 

Disguise as best possible and prepare an alibi!:thumbup:

Tell the house owner to contact bt from there mobile phone and tell them that they need the line repairing which has mysteriously fallen down.

I wouldn't bother trying to repair it, it will need replacing.

If there isn't anyone in the house I wouldn't worry.

Don't jump to admission, when it comes to BT and trees they operate on a 'Reactive not Proactive' policy, call them up and tell them you had been called out to clear a fallen / snapped branch which has taken a line down, thats it. Don't try and fix it.

Eggs I wouldn't actually class myself as a Manc, I grew up in The Mid Wales borders/Herefordshire. Beautiful part of the planet.
