Just get the suppliers contractors who are qualified and authorised to carry out works on the lines. All carried out free and gratis.

No power lines are rated as insulated other than to protect the cable itself any 'insulation' serves no protection from shocks

I survey these every day for Scottish Power - not insulated - 100% job to be done by the electric company for free and they will do the job with the power OFF (shutdown)
