Hi I am getting deaf (old age) and can no longer hear my ding dong door
bell when I am in the kitchen. I bought a cheap wireless door chime from
Lidl but it is not much use. When someone comes to the door it makes my
wireless internet drop out, also it now needs a new battery and it costs
more than I paid for the door chime.

In my kitchen cupboard just under the consumer unit is the bell
transformer, installed when the house was built so all the wiring is
cunningly hidden.

So I thought, is it possible to connect a second bell to the transformer
so that the old ding dong bell just inside the door and a new bell in the
kitchen will both ring at the same time? *If when someone is pressing the
bell push at the front door and cannot hear a bell ring they think the
bell is broken and batter on the door so I want the ding dong bell at the
front door to ding dong as well. I think that is why the battery on the
wireless one does not last long because it could not be heard at the front
door.

And I worked out that the transformer's electricity usage is less than the
cost of batteries and I can get a doorbell from a friend for nothing
before they find out that their new wireless door bell will cost them more
in batteries :-)

So if it is possible how would I wire it up? Would I just disconnect one
wire from the transformer and connect it to the bell and connect a wire
from the bell to the transformer?

While not the cheapest solution this will suit your requirements use a VE
D471 Evo Wired to Wirefree Chime Extender

and VE D403 Evo 50 Wirefree Door Chime - White from

http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Main_Ind...himes_Index/Ve...

this will give you a portable chime unit that you can put where you like
that will ring at the same time as your existing bell and easily installed!

Does that solve the problem with the batteries and Wifi interference?
