Fibre cable down - no contract

Hi All,
My property is on the market and I'm living elsewhere. My fibre contract has been cancelled. The fibre cable reaches the house overhead from a pole and it's come away completely from the pole end. I don't know if it's damaged or not. Does anyone know if I can get this repaired by Openreach without having a contract in place?
Thanks

@Prologica As it is OR property, you should be able to arrange/report this direct to them - I'll have a look for the info if you don't find it in the meantime, but I know it is possible.

Yes, Openreach will fix its property especially if the pole is near a public thoroughfare. We saw a line had fallen onto a rural road where we walk, called OR on our return at 1120, and they had it fixed when we drove past at 1640 that day.
