Line installation (need conduit)

[kalevra]

Recently moved into a new house. Previous owners never had a line installed. When the Telkom tech came to install the line he explained that we have no conduit laid from the Telkom box just outside to within the house.

I'm based in Broadacres, JHB - can anyone recommend a local company that help us with getting the conduit installed?

Thanks.

Had a guy come in over the weekend who normally does all our painting, paving, tiling and general and he didn't want to do it and advised to get an electrician in? So pretty certain it's not an easy one.

I had the same problem when i bought my place, pretty much went to builders bought the conduit, and laid it myself... it's not hard, just make sure you bury it deep enough so you don't later put a pick or a shovel thru the conduit and don't forget the draw wire before you close it all up.. easy peazy

Why an electrician for telephone wire?

Put a draw wire/ line in before you bury it.

Because they are the most common guys to install conduit.

We have a fair amount of concrete between the Telkom box and the drive way and patio. It's not like simply digging up grass and drilling through a wall - if it were that easy there wouldn't be a need to ask.

Can no one recommend any one reliable and reasonably priced in the Fourways area or surrounds?
