With so many external aspects of our home which require maintenance from time to time, or perhaps even a yearly check up, ayou as a homeowner should be aware of all of these maintenance methods.

For example, your homes gutters are extremely important, and you’ll only begin to realise just how important they are when your home become water damaged or requires a replacement roof! You should always aim to keep a clean gutter, and by removing any twigs and leaves, you can make sure the water passes by smoothly.

Paint is also important and if your home has wooden areas, they should always be painted or coated, especially in the run up to Christmas.

The roof is also of course very important and whilst many may not like to climb up to the roof it is important that someone does, and looking for any tiles that are out of place or searching for cracks can be a massive money saver, you may find that a selection of tiles need replacing and this will cost a lot less than a repair later down the line.
