Having a phone point installed

bartsimpson

I'm getting rid of my Wifi because I'm concerned about the potential health risks, so...

Does anyone know who is the best person to contact for the cheapest fitting of phone sockets in a couple of extra rooms in my house?

I have a feeling that a BT engineer will charge a fortune and that possibly an electrician or handyman could do it cheaper?
