There are some not so great looking electrical supply wires coming into mine and my neighbours house and a rusty looking part that is holding the service line in place.

I would like someone to fix these up but unsure what they are called, sure anyone giving me a quote will be able to tell me but would be nice to know myself in advance!

I think there are just 2 parts but maybe one of these consists are 2 parts?

In this case you are in luck... because you have a shared neutral screen with your neighbour the insulator is owned by the network company and they have to fix it ...for free.

 

Why? Ownership changes at the point of supply...normally the boundary, however where multiple installations are supplied the point of supply is where the fittings become exclusive....

 

The insulator/bobbin is not exclusive..so is not your problem 

 

 

 

(Electricity Act Section 2(3) if you care) we deal with this exact situation every day
