Who sells these?

Post by ben g » Sun Feb 18, 2018 10:01 pm

I've been looking for a new one of these today, but can't seem to find any high street stores to go and pick one up, nor are there any on ebay.

It comes in 2 parts, and it's called capping. It covers the telephone cables on the outside wall on the house.

I suppose i could sand and re-paint this one, but it would be much easier to just buy a new one.

I found a place online that sells them, but they want to charge me almost £18, which seems extortionate for 2 bits of plastic.

Have a word with the next BT/Openreach guy you see parked up working... Sure they'll be able to sort one out for you :)

BUT - don't they belong to BT? If they were broken it might be reasonable to BT to replace them :thumbsup:

Thanks for that, but they are the ones who want to charge nearly £18 delivered for them :cry: I was hoping screwfix/b&q etc would sell the same style.

Are they BT specific items? If so, that would explain the hardship at trying to find replacements :lol:

These ones aren't broken as such. The paint appears to have cracked and bubbled and they look untidy. They work as they should, but look in terrible condition cosmetically.
