The work Openreach does is critical with it's engineers are given Key Worker status. Their number one priority is to keep people connected, and they have been working closely with their Communications Provider (CP) partners to minimise the impact of Government restrictions on the services we can provide.Whilst heightened Coronavirus alert levels are in place, there are special measures we all need to take to keep each other safe. Our engineers will comply with any local restrictions or lockdowns that may be in place.
What to expect if you’ve got an engineer coming.
If you're expecting an Openreach engineer to visit your home, they’ll do all they can to get you up and running without entering, but there may be some circumstances where we need to come into your home for a short period of time.
Our engineers will be taking special measures to ensure your safety and their own. And if we do need to enter your home, we’ll call you beforehand talk to you about how we can make our visit as short and safe as possible.
Please ensure you maintain two metres social distancing and, wherever possible, move to a different room. Once the engineer has finished working, they’ll wipe down any surface they’ve touched before leaving.We won’t be working beyond the main telephone socket or fibre connection point in your property, and we won’t be installing extension sockets - to minimise the time we have to spend in your home.
At the end of the appointment, our engineer will explain what they’ve done - via the phone, WhatsApp or Facetime – whichever suits you best. You can find out more information about the engineer appointment including a video explaining the process on their detailed FAQ page.

Before you let the engineer in, it’s a good idea to check their ID badge to make sure they’re really from Openreach. Some of our new engineers drive plain white vans so the ID badge is the best way to identify them.
Once you’ve checked they’ll talk you through what they’ll be doing. If they need to, they’ll agree with you where to put any equipment and talk about options for wiring. When they’re finished, they’ll check everything is up and running as it should be. And they’ll clean up any mess they’ve made before they go.
Openreach won’t ever ask you for bank details. So if anyone contacts you saying they’re from Openreach and asks for financial information, don’t give it to them. If you’d like more information or advice about fraud and cyber security have a look at Action Fraud.
If your engineer did a great job you can thank them. Or if you’re not happy with something you can get in touch with them.
