BT Master Socket

I am with Sky for my broadband, phone and TV.
I want to move my Master Socket from the bowels of my house to an external wall as I can now get Fibre Optic and the phone wiring is really old and in a mess so I want to start afresh.
The cable from the pole outside goes into a little GPO box thing inside my house then out of that is a cable that goes to the master socket.
Sky have said to get a local guy to do it...
I don't know if BT Openreach will do as I'm Joe Public and even if they do I don't know how much it's gonna set me back.
Can any help? Anyone...
Update - Sky just phoned and said they made a mistake and only BT Openreach can do it but they don't know how much it will be.

If you order fibre broadband from any provider they'll send out an Openreach engineer to install it. When he's there, ask him to move the master socket; it's included as part of the job if necessary. Mine was and they moved it without any quibbles.

Great, thanks.
Sky have given me 2 options; Fibre to the green box or fibre to my house.
I've gone for the cheaper one as compared to the speed I get now (I blame the location of the Master Socket) it's going be good.
At the moment I have 6 devices on wireless and it's not great.

Wifi speeds are limited by the the protocol (e.g. b/g/n) and interference. From my n capable devices I can get about 30Mbps as opposed to the full fibre speed of 80Mbps.
