Regular maintenance saves homeowners thousands in repairs. Here are 10 essential tasks that keep your St Albans home in top condition year-round.
In autumn and spring, clear leaves and debris from gutters. Blocked gutters cause water damage to foundations.
Press the test button. Replace batteries yearly. Replace units every 10 years.
Replace worn weatherstripping to prevent drafts and reduce energy bills.
Squeaky doors? Apply WD-40 or silicone spray to hinges annually.
After storms, check for missing or damaged tiles. Early detection prevents leaks.
Annual servicing ensures efficiency and catches problems before they become expensive.
Prevent frozen pipes by draining garden taps and disconnecting hoses.
