Jurrasic fibre fitted already to our house so why does sky say we are not geared up for it or is it a case of they just don't want to send an engineer out to swap it over

Sky cannot use their network. You can check what services are available on the Openreach network here https://www.broadbandchecker.btwholesale.com/#/ADSL/AddressHome

When an altnet provider lays fibre it is typically also the only ISP which uses it. Some altnets resell a wholesale bandwidth service for other ISPs to buy into but Sky (and BT/EE and other big ISPs) do not carry data this way, largely because the financial stability and long-term viability of most altnets is distinctly questionable and a mass market ISP cannot risk large scale customer disconnection if an infrastructure provider goes bust (which is not going to happen with Openreach)
