Now that the cold wet winter is all but a distant memory and the damp cool spring is still fresh in the
mind, they have left us with plenty of vegetation growth, mould and mildew build up which leaves our homes in need of an all-round general clean up.
With summer on our doorstep and everyone heading outdoors, now is the perfect time to get stuck into some tender loving care around the home and showcase one of our most important assets.
The ever neglecting “I must get to that” jobs have now arrived and are now due for a spring clean to keep your property well maintained, presentable and free from those hefty repair bills.
Here are 5 tips to get your home ready for summer
Gutter clean
Cleaning out your gutters is one of the most important parts to start off your spring clean. Failing to maintain your gutters can result in blocks and overflow with water nowhere to go but to track back inside the roof and wall cavity. This can leave you with a costly repair bills. Keep on top of those leaves before they keep on top of your gutter!
Roof wash
Upon cleaning your gutters, have your roof inspected on a regular basis. Check for loose nails/screws, rust and loose sealant. Fix the minor issues before they become a major issue.
A moss and mould treatment will have your roof looking like new again.
Keeping your roof clean and well maintained not only increases its physical appeal, but it can also save you from an expensive re roof.
Path and driveway clean
Concrete paths and driveways can be one of the most neglected parts of the property. But this can also be one of the most important. Having newly looking concrete can increase kerb appeal and even add value to your home. With shaded areas hidden from the sun, moss and mould build up on concrete will create a slippery surface which can become a nasty slip hazard!
House wash
Mould, dirt, grime and other horrible stains can build up over the years and it can look rather unsightly. A filthy exterior leads to cobwebs, nests and is a great breeding ground for unwelcoming guests such as spiders and rodents. With a professional exterior soft wash, this can refresh your cladding making it look like new again and send the unwelcome guests packing!
