This very long ( 45 metre long ) cable reel was used for a mains hedge trimmer when we had a large garden - we longer have that garden so it's no longer needed.
Steel tube frame with just a tiny amount of surface rust (on the bottom where it's subject to wear), plastic drum/reel and handle. 4 heat protected sockets. 13 amp plug and fuse.
Collection welcomed from Wood Vale / Langton Rise SE23 area.

Mayfly, the actual fibre optic cable terminates in the Openreach box inside your house. The cable cannot have sharp bends in it - only gentle curves. You will have a copper cable with several strands ( Cat5 or Cat6) running from the Openreach termination box to the router. The phones plug into the router - you can have extension wires pretty much as long as you want.

If it helps: We had a good experience with the installation of BT Fibre into the house. There is a plastic box on the wall outside into which the incoming cable runs. They then drilled a hole through our 225mm thick solid brick wall and fitted the final white plastic box (which needs a power supply) on the inside of the wall neatly covering the hole. Our own CAT5 cable runs to our own choice of positioning of the router.
As it happens, I ran my own cable under the floor myself before they arrived, but it can be clipped to the skirting board if you want.
To save trouble, I'd do that and think about a neater wiring solution later at your own convenience,

Please do your research about leaseholder restrictions and responsibilities. I would not recommend any purchase of flat in a LA owned building. It’s cheaper than in any equivalent privately owned block for a very, very good reason.
Walk away - please find somewhere else.

In Eastern Europe and USSR in 1970s and 1980s it was standard to remove your own car’s wipers whenever you parked up - if you forgot …….they were gone.

Hall & Co - used to have an office near ThePlough at the top of Barry Road. They’ve now moved to Streatham. I’ve used them twice in the last 4 years and found them excellent for cost and service.

Impulse Alarms based in SE26 were our house alarm company but they got taken over by AN Other who have performed abysmally for us.
Anyone know a decent firm ?

We've had previous subsidence and renewing our home insurance has become something of a nightmare . . . . . . until I tried this broker. They were very helpful, it was hassle free and I got a very good price - even 15% less than last year.

For a large (tall and bigger than a transit) van load to Dover area I contacted Peter - 07427 271980 / VP Removals. He quoted a very reasonable price, was extremely helpful, punctual with his times and handled our furniture with respect and care. I don't think there is a better mover out there. Highly recommended.
