You have certainly had to lines at these premises ,bt records like any records can be wrong, I bet my bottom dollar that the green/black is connected to the exchange but is a ceased line with no voltage......if you want to get the upsatirs line working as a extension post back as it will be straight forward.
What voltage, if any, should there be upstairs?
Yes please, would be nice to have the upstairs working.
Thank you

You wont get any voltage as its not working but a standard telephone line has 50v,to get your upstairs working here is how to do it.......................on the connection point where the wires come in take off the green/black ,then the 2 wires going upstairs bridge onto 2 spare wires going to the downstairs socket ( poss white with orange hoops and orange with white hoops) using a krone tool then open the downstairs socket and take off the front plate and connect the same two wires to ports 5 and 2....if you have had 2 lines which I suspect you have then your upstairs socket with be a nte5 so wont need a bell wire........this configuration will be ok for speech but if you are getting adsl may give you some problems with 2 master sockets on the line...try this and make sure it works ok for speech and if you are getting adsl post back
