Replacing an ageing system

A communal replacement must account for the number of flats, entrances, cable routes, handset locations, door hardware, resident access, installation phasing and how service will be maintained during the work.

  • Audio or video entry
  • Reuse or replace existing cabling

Information that improves the quote

Send the number of flats and entrances, photographs of the entrance panel and a handset, any known brand, what currently works and whether the factor or building owner can provide access to common equipment.

Questions before you enquire

Common questions

Can one flat be repaired without replacing the block system?

Often yes. The handset must be compatible and the fault must be local to that flat rather than common equipment.

Can you add fob access to a communal entrance?

Often yes. The existing lock, door condition, power and escape arrangements must be suitable. Fob management also needs a clear owner.

How much does a communal intercom cost?

Labour for a small replacement typically starts from about £1,040 for audio or £1,430 for video, based on £65 per hour, with equipment itemised separately at cost. Larger blocks, new cabling and difficult access increase the labour requirement.
