Welcome to the Blogs

As the nights began to drawn in we busily set to work on improving ProblemSolved to make it a better experience for both customers and tradesmen. Many many cups of coffee later, all of the improvements have been implemented, ready for you to enjoy.

Changes include

As reported by ProblemSolved only yesterday, in the uncertainty of the housing market, people are looking to improve their homes rather than move from them. But according to the government advice service Consumer Direct, many people are having a less than satisfactory service when getting an electrician in.

Recent TV makeover shows have been accused of turning Britain bland according to a recent survey carried out by Dulux. 41% of those polled said that the only reason that they used cream or off-white colour schemes was on the advice of TV gurus or estate agents, with only 3% claiming that they actually liked the colours!

More and more homeowners are coming to the site for advice and opinion on all things to do with the home. If you’re passionate about your work, and you fancy yourself as a bit of a writer, why not become a guest blogger on our site. You can write about areas of interest and give members of the public useful advice on how to look after their home. Think of it as your very own ‘column.’

The benefits include:

• Increased presence throughout the site

A subject close to ProblemSolved’s heart – the crackdown on cowboy builders – was addressed today in an announcement by the Government.

Housing Minister Caroline Flint proposals include freeing up more time and resources for local authorities to focus on areas of highest risk, by removing statutory notification stages, and increasing their powers to tackle illegal or botched construction, as well as the potential use of fixed penalty notices and stop notices.

Hi, I’m James. I’d like to introduce myself as the newest addition to the ProblemSolved team. I’m really looking forward to working on the site and all the exciting challenges that it will bring.

There are some really interesting projects over the coming weeks and months, and I can’t wait to get stuck in. Watch this space…
