Telephone engineer

We have a faulty internal phone socket. Anyone know a decent local phone engineer?

You could do this yourself, assuming it's the socket that has failed and it is not the BT master (if any of your phones work it isn't). No dangerous voltages, only two wires to connect and new faceplates from diy stores come with instructions on how and where to connect them and often the punchdown tool as well, if required.

Unfortunately, yes. It is a particularly clean form or DIY though, requiring no overalls, goggles of cups of tea. Akin to wiring a plug, but without the hurty blue sparky stuff which can occur if you get that one wrong.
