Hi
So me and my partner have recently bought our first home!
After living in it for a few months, we have been gaining a deeper understanding of the minor issues that have come along with it...
Having noticed dampness to the bottom of the stairs, and suddenly having an infestation of woodlice appear in both our bedroom and and at the bottom of the stairs, we delved further to investigate...
We have sealed around out windowsill in the bedroom, and found we had a small hole in the roof where the flashing had come away, this has now been repaired...
However it also seems a leak had been occurring for sometime and has caused damage to the floorboards and joist. When I looked closer, I noticed next doors guttering drain was also blocked, causing the excess water to run onto our property... Again this has now been resolved but I feel that the stairs area may need to be damp proofed before any further work is undertaken?
I need the bugs to stop!!
Thanks
