No win no fee solicitors Rochdale have welcomed news that houses across the
borough are being refurbished by Emanuel Whittaker for Rochdale Boroughwide
Housing (RBH) during Property Maintenance Week.
RochdaleOnline.co.uk reports that all RBH residents can receive assistance
from Emanuel Whittaker to help them deal with any household maintenance
projects they need.
Some of the work operatives have done has improved the health and safety of
residents and reduced RBH's liability in personal injury claims, such as by
using rock salt at Stephenson Square and on the Hollin Estate.
A home in Castleton's Holborn Street was rewired as part of a larger
refurbishment, while a Roch Mills Crescent household saw the joists replaced in
the kitchen ceiling.
While Emanuel Whittaker is keen for people to take advantage of its
services, John Gallagher, the company's Contracts Director, said that he is
also happy to offer people advice.
Some of the advice the group has been providing relates to winter home
repairs. Mr Gallagher said that people should know where their main stop tap
is, so they can turn it off should the pipes burst.
He also said that condensation over winter can be alleviated by using
extractor fans or opening windows, by drying clothes outdoors or in the dryer
rather than over the radiators, and by mopping down window frames. Condensation
mould can be dealt with through the use of fungicidals, which are found in the
majority of DIY stores. Once the mould has been cleaned away, people should
repaint the wall with a fungicidal paint.
Personal injury solicitor compensation said that regardless of whether or not a person rents their
home or owns it outright, taking care of the property is "essential",
especially during the colder months. He said the advice and assistance Emanuel
Whittaker has offered has been "much appreciated".
People who rent their home from the council or from a landlord may be able
to make a personal injury claim in some instances in which the council or
landlord's negligence has led them to suffer a personal injury. For more
