    “The alarm radio doesn‘t work on mains supply.”

    The batteries inside were heavily corroded, so I removed these and cleaned up the battery compartment. The antenna tip has been broken off at sometime in the past. There is a small gap forming in the silicon sealant on the back wall of the shower tray. The apartment is in immaculate condition and has been skillfully designed and constructed.
