Landline Switchover in Wimbledon

From the Village to Wimbledon Park and Raynes Park, many larger homes have phones in several rooms and alarm or intercom systems that may use the phone line. We check what's connected, set up handsets where the household needs them and flag anything that needs the alarm or intercom installer.

Problems we fix

  • A letter from your phone provider about Digital Voice or digital landlines
  • Not sure whether your phone or cordless handsets will still work
  • A parent who relies on their landline or a personal alarm
  • Worried the phone won't work in a power cut
  • Only want a landline, not broadband
  • The phone stopped working after the switchover

What's included

  • A check of every handset, extension and phone socket in the home
  • Phones connected to the router and calls tested in and out
  • A check of personal or telecare alarms, coordinated with the alarm provider
  • A plan for power cuts, including asking your provider about a battery backup unit
  • Help registering on your provider's Priority Services Register if it applies
  • Nuisance call blocking set up where your provider offers it
  • Simple written notes, and a summary for family if you booked for a parent

Landline Switchover Help in Wimbledon: FAQs

Most visits take about an hour. If there are several handsets, an alarm to test or Wi-Fi to sort at the same time, it can take a little longer. We agree the time and a personalised quote before we start.

The old copper phone network is due to finish switching off by 31 January 2027, and providers are moving customers in stages before then. Your provider should write to you before your line is moved.

Usually not. Most phones keep working once they're plugged into the router or a digital phone adapter. Some older or unusual handsets need replacing, which we check on the visit.
