CEILING Is the problem ... Small holes revealing screw heads ? Guidance : These are known as ’screw-pops’ and the small amount of filler covering the screw head has ‘popped-off’. It isn’t serious, purely cosmetic. If it is the odd few then you should fill these yourself when you next decorate. If, however the problem is extensive, report it as a defect - all you need do in the description box is quote the code SP and state: * Ceiling * Which room (nothing else, no explanation, just this) . Please be advised we tend to leave such issues until the end of the first year as more may occur as the drying out continues. Tape joints showing between sheets of plasterboard ? Guidance : This is paper tape used in the process of filling the joint between sheets of plaster board. It isn’t serious, purely cosmetic. If the problem is mild and only affects a part of a single seam, you should fill this yourself when you next decorate. If, however the problem is extensive, report it as a defect - all you need do in the description box is quote the code BTJ and state: * Ceiling * Which room (nothing else, no explanation, just this) . Please be advised we tend to leave such issues until the end of the first year as more may occur as the drying out continues. Fine line cracks ? Guidance : This is quite normal and due to the property drying out. Unless you can fit a pound coin edge-ways into the crack, you should fill these yourself when you next re-decorate. Otherwise report it as a defect - all you need do in the description box is quote the code SC and state: * Ceiling * Which room (nothing else, no explanation, just this) . Please be advised w e do not attend to such issues before the end of the first 12 months as the property will take a year to fully settle down. Wat er penetrating ? Guidance : Have you got water penetrating the ceiling? This is most likely due to something leaking from above and could be a range of sources. Report this as a defect - all you need do in the description box is quote the code WP and state: * Ceiling, is it constant or intermittent, what is directly above and * Which room * Confirm what was last used (e.g.: shower) (nothing else, no explanation, just this) . Damp and/or black mold spores ? Guidance : Damp is caused by one of two things. Either a leak that is feeding water to an area making it wet, or lack of air circulation. If you believe it to be a leak, report it as a defect - all you need do in the description box is quote the code WP and state: * Ceiling * Which room (nothing else, no explanation, just this) . Otherwise, it is most likely damp due to poor circulation. Condensation occurs when warm moist air hits a cool surface, so make certain when you are cooking and when you are running the shower or a bath that you operate any ventilation system you have in those rooms – even open windows to allow the warm moist air to escape. Failure to ventilate spaces will encourage black mold spores which is unhealthy and must be avoided at all costs. ​ SELF-DIAGNOSIS Useful checklist If you have just moved in, here are some important reminders: APPLIANCE WARRANTIES Don't forget to complete all of the warranty cards for your fitted electrical appliances.

STAIR STRING Is the problem ... The stair string has split ? Guidance: Unless the timber is a hardwood you wish to leave exposed, you can fill small cracks before you re-decorate under householder maintenance. There is a gap between the stair string and the wall ? Guidance: Unless the gap is greater than 4mm you can fill small cracks before you re-decorate under householder maintenance, otherwise report it as a defect - all you need do in the description box is quote the code GBSSW (nothing else, no explanation, just this code ).

地板采暖 地板采暖已成为一种流行的房间供暖形式。系统可以是电动的，也可以更常见地由燃气中央供暖系统（换句话说，是输送热水的连续管道）供电。加热网密封在混凝土砂浆内，允许热量穿透地板覆盖物（层压板或地毯）。 ​ 为了获得最大效率，最好让系统在一致的环境温度下长时间运行，而不是一直开关（与传统散热器相比，to get up up to heat 需要更长的时间）。 ​ 每个房间都有自己的恒温器或“区域控制器”，这意味着您可以更好地控制温度。地暖的一个不太明显的好处是它提供了将家具靠在所有墙壁上的自由——传统的散热器系统很难做到这一点。
