Just to follow up....

Tested the line with a landline phone and as expected no tone. However, mystery deepens... when I tried the landline in the master socket and no tone either! 

So either the phone is a dud or there is some oddity with the connection!

Do you pay for a phone line or DV service, if not could explain why no dial tone can be heard.

I thought as broadband is FTTC, line rental is included anyway but you may have hit the nail re DV.

I need to find the DV adapter thing - would a dial tone be expected?

Judging by the state of wiring I would think semaphore could be expected.
