AB 1950 Posted January 26, 2018 Author Share Posted January 26, 2018 Thanks for the advice again but this is an existing tenant . The smoke alarm has nowt to do with my problem although it has brought to my attention the need for a regular simple test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point and well spotted... No. The stairs are bare wood in any case just out of sight. Quote Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

I'd contact your landlord, he may be miffed if you start messing with fixtures and fittings albeit with good intent. Quote Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.
