Coverage maps are only guides and not an exact science
The advice is to always try networks on PAYG before committing to a contract.

Having a look on OpenSignal shows a mixed bag of signal reports for your street in St Helens.

Have you tried your sim card in a different handset? Have you tried TuGo ?

As @MI5 said alway best to test signal with a PAYG sim, before committing as not everywhere has a mobile signal even these days

Indoor coverage is never guaranteed as there are so many factors involved, such as thickness in wall, as Radio Waves will only penetrate so far.

A phone wont always lock onto the nearest mast, it will hope between masts in an area, trying to find the least contention to allow you to use features.

@paddyguy Ofcom do not deal with individual complaints of this nature, so save yourself some time and try a different network, as advised.
