I rent out a flat - Can I claim tax back on my own home?

I rent out a small flat - my property “business”. I am declaring my income to the tax man. Because I do the paperwork for the “business” in my own home, can I claim back a proportion of my own household bills from the tax man?

I don’t think it would really be worth it. See example four, what % of time do you use your house to run this property ‘business’? I bet its not very much.
