We will be moving and the new place, whilst having a telephone socket has no known number - I presume I will have to cancel my current account and join again.
Standard line installation cost. At Plusnet rates. You'll be lucky to get Openreach on the job quickly either. I think OR do have an "expedited" install facility.
My broadband basic info/help site - www.robertos.me.uk | Domains,site and mail hosting -Tsohost. Connection -Plusnet UnLim Fibre (FTTC). Sync ~ 57.1/14.8Mbps @ 600m. - IPv4BQM IPv6BQM

A friend (not me - honest, so the details may be inaccurate) had a similar problem. There was a phone socket in his new abode, but the line was not active - i.e. no dial tone. He used a "3" dongle to sign up with Plusnet. Broadband was activated within 2 weeks. Two weeks later the phone service was activated.
In your case, you should be able to reduce the 2 week activation period by starting the process now.
As previously mentioned, the details may be inaccurate, but I don't recall any whinges about an exorbitant fee for line activation.
As I suspected, due to my unusual setup, the whole account had to be closed, a new one created and then the old one partially re-actived. I should be getting a BT engineer coming in a couple of weeks.
Is it not standard practice to allocate a "new" phone number, even if the present occupants have an existing number? In recent moves we have never been given the same number as those who lived in the house we moved to, and neither have those moving into our old property kept our number
So I don't see the allocation of a number in itself being a cause for a fee
