Problem Areas In The Home
Creating a work space at home
With ever increasing numbers of people opting to work from home, there’s been a shift in emphasis on home styling to incorporate a proper work space or office in the home. Only fifteen years ago, if you had a computer at home you might well have been in the minority amongst your contemporaries.

If you find damp patches on the inside of the wall check the outside – the roof for damaged tiles, that the gutters are not blocked with leaves or rubble, downpipes are not blocked or split and that your double glazing and windows and doors are sealed properly – all these can cause water to penetrate the wall. If you find the fault you can often repair it yourself by taking simple measures such as clearing out blockages or adding extra putty or sealer to your window and door frames. [Read More...]
