I had a repull 2 years ago (maybe 3, can't remember the exact date). All they do is pull the old cable out, and push a new (thicker) one through.

There was a complication in my case, British Gas had crushed the conduit at the top of the road, when they fitted a new gas main. I had to wait about 2 months for an engineering team to replace that section of the conduit. Once that was done, the new cable was pulled through in minutes.

All I will suggest is that you keep an eye on them if they decide to run a new green conduit through your garden. They have a tendancy Ive noticed, to only bury them an inch or two below ground, which means they can get spiked while gardening.
