I do have a ratchet crimper fo the yellow ring crimps and a box of crimps.

Yes my old belling was a much better terminal box. This one you have to tighten up really tight or the wires keep pulling out.

Thanks Ivor. My nephew won't have a lot of spare cash after sale as buying on his own which is why I was thinking of asking seller to sort it.

My nephew is purchasing a 1970/80s house of brick block construction and the surveyor has notice some cracking and loose brickwork above the kitchen window and has advised a lintel needs to be introduced. It looks like just two rows of bricks above the window are affected at present. Now i am...
