Botched Sky re-wire   
I've botched a re-wire of my Sky system. Now water is seeping through 
the cable. I'd better get the professionals in. My question is how much 
would it cost?? A renewal of my Sky contract is not an option.

The plug ends will more than likely have stopped any water getting in to the
actual equipment, so just change the coaxial cable.  Remember this time to
seal the ends and put a drip loop before any cable enters through walls or
window cills.

A drip loop is just a little bend in the cable before it disappears through
the wall.  It bends downward toward the ground though, never upward.  :-0
It stops water running along the cable and through in to the wall.
