Description:
Have you struggled to book a tradesperson for home improvement jobs around your home? A new report has revealed the extent of the trade skills gap, with many left unable to engage the relevant tradies for the job. <br/><br/>Whilst Brits are embracing home improvements with four in five tradespeople being booked up in advance, two in three people say it's getting more difficult to find tradespeople for home DIY projects. It means many more of us are turning to doing it ourselves in a bid to get things done quickly and cheaply - and not just those traditionally more inclined towards the tasks. <br/><br/>Eighty two percent of Gen Z women are inspired by other women doing complex DIY on social media to do more themselves. 'A Slice of Home Life twenty twenty four' is a new report looking at DIY trends this year conducted by B and Q. It found that more women are joining men in undertaking heavier DIY tasks, with women now being just as likely as men to have used a nail gun and a floor sander and over nine in ten women have made their own home improvements in the last year, with one in four of these down to not being able to find the right tradesperson for the task at hand.

Suppliers are increasingly resorting to legal measures to recoup energy debts, potentially causing long-term financial strain for households. This trend seems to have intensified following Ofgem's imposition of stringent restrictions on mandatory prepayment meter installations. <br/><br/>Last year, Citizens Advice provided guidance to 349 households facing County Court Judgments (CCJs) due to overdue gas and electricity bills, compared to 179 in 2022, coinciding with a record-high energy debt of £3.1 billion. The CCJs reported are the highest since 2019, likely representing only a fraction of the total judgments issued for energy debt recovery. Despite Ofgem's recent reduction of the energy price cap to £1,690 annually for typical dual fuel bills, data shows that energy debt continued to climb by £2.8 million daily in the latter half of last year, -So what can be done to reduce those energy costs?")

The Annual Local Authority Road Maintenance or ALARM survey also found surface conditions have also declined - that's despite nearly one hundred and forty millionpounds being put towards filling in two million potholes in the last year. Just forty seven percent of local road miles were rated as being in a good condition, with thirty six percent adequate and seventeen percent poor. But, the rate at which roads are being repaired is up to its highest level in eight years, with the amount local councils are spending on improvements also increased across the board. But how are the roads near you? <br/><br/>The transport spokesman for the Local Government Association said the ALARM report reveals 'the huge challenge faced by councils in maintaining the local roads network', with roads deteriorating faster than they can be fixed, causing a backlog. But a Department for Transport spokesperson explained they've made extra money available for local authorities this year.")
