We got a femtocell to improve mobile reception at home - runs over wifi and works brilliantly. T-Mobile (and I think other companies) sell them as an add on (you have to have the right femtocell for your mobile network) but if you make enough of a fuss about your reception you may get one on a complimentary basis.


The other thing is have you thought about upgrading to 4G. I recently did and have been astonished about how much better mobile reception is. All the 3G blackspots near us have good 4G coverage. It's almost as if they run the 3G network down in places to force you to upgrade to 4G *conspiracy face*. Appreciate it's not ideal to upgrade on the chance that it might improve things, but it did seem to work really well in my case.


Edited because I can't spell conspiracy...

I've never actually heard of these. They sound brilliant but at the same time I feel, why should I have to buy an add-on because they are unable to provide me with any kind of decent coverage! Mind you, I know that's idealistic.. I'll look into it, thanks again.
EE reception has got much worse over the last few years due to their crappy version of 4G and mast consolidation post T Mobile merger. I'm near you and tried out sims for 3, O2 and Vodafone. And Vodafone won hands down. It has been life changing....no more standing outside on a box to call a mate.

    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
