Around 4,500 books were damaged when jets of water from under floor central heating rapidly seaped through the ICE library.

Half of the library was cut off due to tremendous amounts of water flooding the floor making it potentially dangerous to access. Some of the most historic books were damaged by the flood, around 4,500 and most were dried in situ with about 600 being sent to two professional book restoration firms.

How much does it cost to hire out a professional expert to change your central heating? £50 £100 or even £200 an hour. Well I have come across a great resource, its actually a 9 minute video in which you can use to get a guide to performing the maintenance yourself. Its really as easy as 1-2-3.
