    If you are decorating anyway, have you considered replacing that with a MK5 version which essentially has a microfilter built-in?
    ...bearing in mind if it is a BT/Openreach master socket you aren't meant to fiddle around with it, let alone swap it for a different type yourself.

    And if you do break the rules and swap it and it uses insulation displacement to connect to the outside and not screws you 100% must buy/borrow  a cheap krone tool or you will never make it work properly
