Using old holes to install

I had Sky full fibre broadband 6 years ago for 3 years. I then switched to Virgin for the last 3 years and am now switching back to Sky. The engineer came today and said he couldn't use the Virgin ones. Surely he could use the ones that Sky drilled themselves 6 years ago? We don't want a third set of holes in our walls. What, if any, are the alternatives to drilling yet more holes in my walls?

@ScottC1234 There would be NO way that you had FF installed and working six years ago!

OR do not touch any off the VM installed equipment that is the way, VM are the same but they just do not abide by the rules, and would have no issues whatsoever pulling out an OR side!

Not sure off your Sky six year old, but if you wished to do so AND if the engineer approves, he may allow you to pull out the old copper cable and fit the fibre through that hole, you and he/she would need to agree on that, If NO then not going to happen!
