Am I dealing with termites (white ants)?

So I have discovered some "white ants". Google leads me to believe these do not exist and are in fact termites.

Google also leads me to believe that termites do not exist in the UK.

The ants: they are tiny. And I mean almost impossible to see. They are significantly smaller than ants, are white and almost see-thru. I have found five in total, around the skirting board beading in the living room. I have found another two in the same spot this morning.

Anybody any idea what they are? I'll try uploading a image later.

TIA
