I am wanting to replace a very old outside light. The house was built in 1980 and all of the internal lighting is earthed.

Discoloured uPVC front door

Four years ago I moved into a 1984 built house with its original bathroom (upstairs) and kitchen. I had both replaced about two years ago. Recently, the kitchen sink has started to gurgle just after being emptied. No problem with the speed the water drains and I have checked the U bend. It also gurg...
