Is it because you have a problem on the line and they are telling you that if it's not their problem, you'll have to fork out ?150?


This happened to me a year or so ago and to my grandmother last week. In both cases, we followed their test process through the master socket (the details are online on how to do it) and still had the problem so called them out regardless. Since I knew that all my extension cabling had been put it by them, I figured it was still there problem.


In both cases, it was a problem outside where the wires had corroded. In my case, I had data and no voice, in my grandmother's, she had constant interference. We didn't get charged at all.


The engineer told me that the reason for introducing the charge was because they'd had lots of callouts for people with dodgy DIY cabling (inferior cable quality, bad routing, too long, too many extensions etc) who'd try to cut corners for cost - and were having to fix them free. The charge is supposed to stop that happening. If you're pretty confident in your wiring (other than whatever fault you have!), then I'd do the master socket test and call them out.

    • What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.
    • Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous,  meaningless and empty
    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
