The only other things I can think of is the Telewest box that is right above the phone socket in the bedroom (which I can't open up thanks to the aformentioned teeny tiny tamper proof screws! :x ) and a white plastic box on the wall behind the television which was fitted when my dad got a...

Hi I tested everything out this morning, and following your suggestions I found that the telephone, once the master socket's front panel had been removed, would only work when the phone was plugged into the test socket at the back of the master socket. I was getting 'No Line' when the...

Bit in bold - do you mean 'unscrewed/detached' ? There's never been any phone plugged into either of the master sockets for years, as they're both in the front room and once my parents got a telephone socket fitted in the living room they just used that one. My parents both died so...

My apologies for not responding to these latest posts earlier, but I work full-time and have been trying to crack on with wallpapering the rest of the bedroom when not at work, so I haven't been on the internet for a few days. I'll print out your suggestions and test it all out tonight when I...

Hmm - when you say the 'downstairs one', do you mean the downstairs one that's hanging off the wall but seems to work (I'm presuming you do mean that one)? And with regards to detaching the 'bottom faceplate' - do you mean just literally unscrewing it (which I had done to take the photos), or...

Thank you for your reply, cajar, I appreciate it. I have taken my main phone up and stuck it in the socket in the bedroom (the one I want to remove) and annoyingly even though it's off the wall and hanging by very fine wires, the line is live as I can ring out on it. I then took the phone...

Hello I'm in the middle of decorating what used to be my parents' old home (now mine) and would like to remove a telephone socket from a bedroom that is no longer needed. I'm aware (basically from reading posts on here) that it isn't just a simple case of cutting the wires off at the wall...

Thank you Steve - I called my brother who used to be a plumber and he talked me through the whole topping up the boiler and returning to the radiator. Had to do it a few times until water bubbled from the bleed valves but now we have a lovely warm house again. Is it sad that I'm chuffed I've...

Hello A couple of weeks ago my partner and I removed the radiator in the bedroom so that I could wallpaper the wall behind. I looked up the steps for rehanging the radiator and 'thought' it was going to be straightforward (ha!). We had a bit of difficulty getting the radiator onto the...

Thank you for taking the trouble to reply guys - I really appreciate it. squeaky - when I came home from work tonight there was a little bit of 'leakage' around the rim of the base unit, which I dried off with tissue. For the rest of the night the toilet wasn't used (we have a downstairs...

Hello I’m having a problem with water leaking from around the base of my bathroom toilet. I noticed this a while ago (a few months maybe?) but oddly it doesn’t seem to be a regular thing – it will seep for a few days, then it’ll be dry for a week or so, then it’ll start seeping from the...
