Storm damage to phone line junction box

[mike004]

My telephone line comes from a nearby telegraph pole and is attached externally at my roof eaves via a plastic junction box.
The junction box has blown open in storm Doris, with wiring spilling out and open to the elements. Phone line is fine, though.

Is this something that BT should fix?
As I live in a bungalow, I don't mind getting up a ladder and stuffing the wiring back in and closing the junction box.

Thanks, Sparky.
How long do you reckon they will take to come out and fix this?

I've just remembered.
The people who replaced my fascia boards replaced and refitted the junction box.
Hope the BT engineer doesn't notice this. It's officially BT property, I think.

You're right it is BT's property. The whole line is.

I bought a BT junction box / DP off eBay when I moved my phone line, its even branded as BT so they probably couldn't tell the difference! As long as its installed right...

Fixed it myself.
Just nipped up the ladder, pushed the wiring back into the box and closed the lid.
