Mobile signal in new build

[tom_loughlin]

Evening shaps and chapesses,
I am nearing the end of my chapel conversion, and since the Kigspan foil backed insulation has gone in, I cannot get any mobile signal inside the building - The entire building is lined with 100mm under the floor screed, 75mm on all walls, 175mm on the ceiling, and has K-glass windows - which I hear has a thin metal foil - so the entire house, in effect, is a farraday cage.

I am on Vodafone, but have tried Orange, T-mobile and o2 - all have decent signal outside (~4bars) but absolutely nothing inside.

This can't be a new problem - but I can't seem to get anywhere.

If anyone has experienced the same, or has any suggestions, I would be most grateful. I hear there are singal boosters on the market, but can't find any information I actually trust.

I have tried changing between 2G and 3G, to no effect.

Thanks people,

Tom

Cheers guys,
I will have a go at this leaky feeder idea - would be a good starting point I think.

I originally posted this in General Gassing, But has been moved... Still haven't quite mastered all the sections of this site.

Thanks again, and I will let you know the outcome.

Tom
