Extending external BT phoneline.

[richardrich79]

Since we have had our frontage re-rendered our BT line is now too short to be re-clipped anywhere near neatly.
The line runs from the BT pole opposite to our facia then down the wall and enters through the wall into the back of the BT box, there is no slack available.
Can someone please give me an idea of the expected costs involved, I cannot afford the time needed trying to get sense out of the call center but I know that as it's BTs property up to the inside box I have to get them to do it.
Thanks
