There might be significant damage to just one room, or to multiple rooms in your home. You may even be completely unable to use rooms in your property because of the housing disrepair liverpool.

Disrepair covers a lot of issues, including most structural defects, mould and damp, gas or water leaks, vermin or pest problems, faulty central heating and a lack of hot water.
