Overhead to granny flat? Would I need a specialist?

[PhilipL]

A granny flat will be at the bottom of a long narrow garden - 50m from supply at front of main house out to the new building. The granny flat is very near to a supply pole but I have been told that only one connection can be made to any one property. This leaves me two options - overhead (30 metres) from back of house or underground. Due to the makeup of the Victorian terrace the house is in, I'd prefer overhead.

My first question is, would any electrician be happy doing this work or is there a specialism? I can see the route a cable would take - up a disused chimney into a loft then out from a second floor gable to the gable of the granny flat. Second is, would it be the expensive option to do it this way?

You're essentially just running a supply to another building, most electricians should be able to achieve this, I wouldn't have thought of it as a specialisation per say.

Thanks. Have complained to consumer council and then onto regulator if that fails, so maybe I will get a connection sorted. Otherwise overhead cable it will be.
