How can I book a engineer for a broadband socket installation?

I am unable to speak with someone from Virgin Media so I can book an engineer appointment for a broadband socket installation. 
I ordered the Quickstart installation kit for the broadband but I noticed I also need the correct socket to connect the hub. 

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks.

    You can also check for a loose cable as not all properties have a socket.   Look outside for a brown or grey VM box on the wall and trace the cable to the inside.  If it is a loose cable only, you will need one of these to connect the Quickstart cable.  https://www.diy.com/departments/slx-f-type-satellite-cable-coupler/5028422001905_BQ.prd
    Try calling the pre-installs team on 0800 052 1734 8AM- 9PM Monday - Friday or 8AM-6PM Saturday and Sunday and explain the situation.

    Hi. I checked and no VM box was found. I was able to book an appointment with an engineer.
