BetterFlat publishes practical home advice and buying guides for UK renters, flat owners and small-space households. This editorial policy sets out the standards we hold ourselves to.
Our mission
To help people make their flats drier, warmer, cleaner, safer, more organised and easier to live in — with honest, useful, UK-focused advice.
Accuracy
We aim to be accurate and up to date. We base guidance on product specifications, manufacturer information, established home-improvement practice and publicly available sources. If we get something wrong, we want to fix it — see corrections below.
Independence
Our recommendations are editorial. Where we use affiliate links in future, a potential commission will never determine what we recommend. See our affiliate disclosure.
Honesty about testing
We are clear about whether a guide is based on hands-on testing or on research. We never pretend to have tested something we have not.
Cautious, non-alarmist wording
Damp, mould, air quality and heating can affect health and safety. We provide practical advice, but we avoid medical claims and we encourage readers to seek professional help for serious problems such as persistent damp, structural issues or health symptoms.
Corrections
If you spot an error, please tell us via our corrections page or contact form. We will review and update promptly where needed.
Updates
We revisit guides over time as products, prices and best practice change.
