Hi °C | Lo °C If you are one of the unlucky home-owners still mopping up after the floods, the RICS has some advice.
Ben Collins, warns those affected by the recent downpour, that while you should contact insurers as soon as possible to obtain permission to begin the big clean-up, take time to do the work properly. “Being in a hurry to redecorate too soon can aggravate the problem — causing moisture to become trapped inside the walls. If you must redecorate, use porous materials, not vinyls,” advises Ben, who adds the property needs to dry out completely.
