Thanks Sparkymarka. I'll have a go at this when I get in from work later and report back. A good shout. The log had the tamper down as mid morning, at which point the bell box will have been in direct sunlight for several hours as it faces the morning sun. Like you I know very little about...

Evening all, I got home today to discover a tamper fault on my Texecom. I tried doing the latching walk test and it came up with a '......B......' on the LCD display. Not really sure what this means from the manual but anyway I progressed and opened up the panel. Below is the inside of the...

This is the problem. I've recently been able to nip it in the bud as they've been culled as soon as they appear but i'm trying to find prevention rather than cure. It's a ballache ripping the laminate up every few months just to get in one corner of the house and put the poison down. If I could...

Yes (I realise I meant between the plasterboard walls where the new toilet was built during the extension - there is access from below the floor)That was just before we thought we'd eradicated them for good last year. They're not doing this here. They're definitely coming in from below...

Added a couple of pics of the sewers. Not really sure it helps but hey...

Thanks. I'm not going to know that until I cut it I suppose so will have to go from there.

Afternoon! I need to connect an old iron guttering downpipe to a PVC downpipe but am struggling to find the correct connection. Online searches keep sending me the way of connections for cast iron soil stacks. Can anyone help specify what it is I need please? Also, what is the best way to cut...

Thanks John. Unfortunately I can't take it out. Well, I can't work out how to if it can be done. It appears to have been built in around the plasterboard wall. I used a damp cloth on the runners and it does seem to have improved it a fair bit. I'll try getting further in there with a paintbrush...

We had a downstairs WC put in around 2½ ago and the room has a sliding door. Over the past few months the door has become more difficult to close eventually resulting on me pulling it off the runner it is attached to above the door. I managed to hook it back on and all seemed ok(ish) for a...
