I apologise if this is the incorrect forum but it's unclear to me where else it should be posted.
Anyway, my main telephone socket comes into the house at the side directly into my downstairs landing. On the outside of the relevant wall there is a small grey BT box. I assume this is normal. Now, I wish to also have a telephone socket in an upstairs bedroom which also functions as my office. I don't simply want to run an internal extension from the downstairs socket all the way round door frames etc. I would prefer it if the extension ran from the BT box around the outside of the house, and into the bedroom where there would be another wall mounted telephone socket. I rang BT and they quoted me £110 to put an extension in. Would an electrician be able to do this work (maybe for less since i imagine it's an hours work) or do you have to get a BT person? Is it a simply DIY job?
thanks
