Move junction termination box

Hi there

I want to get my virginmedia junction termination box inside moved and have a few questions:

1 Drilling - is the engineer willing to drill from the outside brick wall towards the inside? I want to minimise risk of brick blowout by drilling through the softer mortar. 

2 Neatness - does the engineer clip the cable to the brickwork or mortar or do you have to do it yourself?

3 Price - how much is the engineer callout fee?

Thanks

Dave

Generally inside to out for drilling, cables should be clipped by technician and the current fee is £25 I think.

Thanks.

Any other views on whether they'll go outside to in? 

£25 sounds cheap, how come may I ask? I thought it was £100 approx for a callout.

 

Thanks

It used to be £99, but has been reduced to £25. 
The technician may do outside to in if you are there to supervise and accept any risks? Sometimes it’s hard to get the hole in the correct place when going from the outside.

Great thanks!

So do you just have to call up and book an engineer visit and ask for the £25 price?

Yes you can phone, or wait here a day or two for a VM Mod to pick this up.
