Getting Incoming BT Phone Cable to my house Re-routed

Al_Ross

Hi,
Does anyone have any idea how much BT will charge to re-route the incoming BT Phone Cable to my house?
Basically, the outside phone cable runs from a pole on the corner of my land over my flat roofed detached garage and then into my loft of my house.
I am getting my garage flat roof replaced with a new pitched tiled roof, and the phone cable is going to have to move. This was spotted by one of the joiners round pricing up for the roof job, my architect, never even noticed this.
Anyone have any ideas on costs to move the phone line?

Interesting thread on the topic https://forums.digitalspy.com/discussion/1826211/bt-openreach-charges.

An Openreach engineer suggests telling the builders to just cut the cable to forfeit the survey charge.

That’s mainly for moving main network plant. Openreach charge the providers a fixed cost of £85 for moving a single dropwire. From memory BT will charge the end customer £130 to arrange this, but other providers may charge more or less.
