People's property interiors need to be kept in a good condition, an expert has suggested, with home maintenance being quite an important issue.
There are various parts of the home that consumers should focus on in the near future, according to the head of Churchill Home Insurance, Martin Scott, in a development which might interest those with
Roman Blinds.
He stated: "Do a top-to-toe inspection from the floor to the roof space.
"Look for signs of leaks in your attic, making sure that timbers are free from damp and woodworm."
His remarks follow the publication of Churchill research relating to house maintenance.
The firm found that damp is one problem that a number of consumers are not addressing, with 68 per cent of those with this in their homes not taking the necessary action to dry it out.
Meanwhile, More Than recently issued a garden security warning to the country's homeowners, with the firm noting that goods worth £4 billion could be left unprotected during the winter months.
