Infrastructure solutions – changes to our network for developers

If you’re refurbishing or extending a building, or developing a new site, you might need us to make changes to our network. Or you might want brand new infrastructure. Whatever the job, we’re happy to help.

What can we do?

Engineering jobs we can carry out include:

• adding infrastructure to new housing developments – from single homes to sites of more than 1,000 houses 
• Ethernet on new housing developments 
• rearranging or moving our existing network 
• building fibre networks for commercial sites (free for sites of 20 or more units)
• adding ducts, cables and wiring for refurbishments or redevelopments 
• building fibre infrastructure to new or existing apartment buildings and other multi-dwelling units 
• moving distribution points, drop wires, poles and internal distribution connection boxes, underground ducts or cables 
• out-of-hours work – we can carry out work in the evening so we don’t disrupt the day-to-day running of your business
• housing stock refurbishment programmes and external wall insulation, including changing overhead infrastructure to cope with moving multiple drop wires.

How long will it take?

Acknowledge

We aim to respond to all requests for work within five working days. First, we’ll check we can do what you want. Next we’ll ask you to pay us for a survey, or confirm you’re happy to accept our costs.

Survey

We’ll carry out a survey within 25 working days of getting your payment for this. This might take longer if we need to organise joint visits with you or a customer, or if we can only carry out the survey at a certain time.

Deliver

Once you’ve accepted our costs or paid for the work after our survey, we’ll start work within 50 days. This might change if we need permits or special permissions.
