A line test tells me I have a problem with my equipment in my premises, I've now tried 3 different phones and still get the crackle.

What line test is this?? as far as I know, no line test will be able to pinpoint where the issue is. (Just tell you there is one)
To me, this sounds like your telephone line goes through an underground DP, and when it's raining its got water in it. BT tend to just twist cables together so it's probably just water ingress on one of the connections...*
It'd be worth knowing if you can do a speed test when you know the phone is poop, i'd expect the speed to be pretty impacted too if the above is true.
* Speculation. I've had this issue before and repeated engineer visits. fortunately finally they sent someone when it was raining and they could see what was happening.... IIRC the Upload speed was diabolical when the above was true.
Some more info would be great though (impact on ADSL, does it last long after the rain has stopped but the ground is dry, have you noticed anything else happening other than rain? (e.g. heating is on much more)
