What are wayleaves?

In order to install the necessary equipment, allowing your tenants to connect to the Openreach network through a variety of broadband providers, we need your consent to connect your building to our network. This consent is typically obtained through a "wayleave agreement," which simply means that you are granting us access to your building.

FAQs

What is the cost of the installation?

The installation is free of cost. However, we require access to a relevant asbestos report for the communal stairwell if your building was constructed before the year 2000.
Will I be restricted to one internet service provider? Which service providers can I choose from?

You are not locked in to any specific provider. The Openreach network is open access, giving you the freedom to choose from a variety of service providers.
Will I experience any service disruptions during or after the installation?

No, all active services will remain in place throughout and after the installation process.
What impact will the installation have on the appearance of my building?

We strive to keep the installation discreet and hidden whenever possible. However, in certain cases, the cables may need to be visible due to safety regulations. Our modern and discreet cabling methods minimise the impact on communal areas.
How much time does the installation process usually require?

The duration of the installation depends on factors such as the size of the building and the number of engineers involved.
Who is responsible for any potential damage during the installation?

Our engineers work diligently to minimise any damage. If our engineer is responsible for any damage within your building, we will cover the cost of restoring it to its original condition.
Do I need to provide an asbestos report for my building?

If your building was built before the year 2000, we require an asbestos report to comply with health and safety guidelines. The presence of asbestos does not prevent the installation; it allows us to design the installation accordingly, considering areas with known asbestos.
If I'm not the owner or freeholder, how can I assist in obtaining a wayleave?

Please connect us with your managing agent, factor (Scotland), owners committee, freeholder, housing association, or landlord. We will engage in discussions on your behalf. In Scotland, if you own your property, you may have the authority to sign an individual wayleave for your apartment.
How can I order?

To order the service, you need to contact an internet service provider that offers full fibre packages. Please call the provider of your choice. Depending on the agreement you reach, there may be a connection charge between you and the internet service provider. Once you have agreed on a deal, your chosen provider will instruct Openreach to bring the fibre cable into your flat from the communal stairwell.
