As an employee working form home, you can deduct on your tax return against any reimbursements you get from your employer a proportion of your house running costs based on a percentage of the actual costs.

Regarding travelling expenses to the employers base, these should be allowable as long as your employment contract states that you are required to work from home.

If you don't submi a self assessment tax return you can arrange for an adjustment for employment expenses to be made in your PAYE tax code.
