15 Point Annual Home Health
Check
Batteries
changed in Smoke Alarms and Carbon Dioxide detectors.
Manufactures
of these products recommend testing or changing the batteries
and testing the alarm annually.
We do this
important task to help keep you and your property safe.
Check
external structures for signs of dilapidation.
This "stitch
in time" service highlights issues before they become costly
repair bills.
Damp
checks, looking for bridges to damp course.
Damp can
have a big negative impact on the home: Causing unsightly
marks on decoration, and major damage to the fabric of the
building, in particular timber and plaster.
Drainage
check, lift manhole cover, flush and disinfect chamber and
outlet. Out of sight
and out of mind, is the way we think of the house drainage.
This is fine until we notice the problem, usually as we get back
flow from drains or manholes. An annual check can pick up
early warning signs and prevent costly call outs. It will also
help to eliminate summer smells.
External
paintwork and wood finishes checked for flaking and damage.
Early
warning of problems can be quickly dealt with, to extend the
time before a full repaint is needed. Also extends the
life of the timber or painted surface.
Frames of
windows and external doors checked and eased if sticking.
Fix
sticking window and doors to keep functionality and prevent
strain on joints and frames.
Gullies
and guttering checked for leaves and plant material.
Ineffective
and blocked guttering can cause expensive repair bills from damp
and water ingress.
Insulation
checks on lagging to pipes and water tanks. Draft proofing
checks.
The souring
cost of energy makes it more important than ever that
insulation is as good as we can make it.
Overflow
ball-cocks checked and adjusted if necessary.
Dripping
overflows waste money and water, and if not attended to can lead
to problems with damp.
Roof given
visual check from gutter line, for slipped tiles and slates.
The roof is
a symbol of warmth and security. Early notification of
problems will save money and provide peace of mind; and help to keep
the roof over your head sound.
Security
of windows and doors checked. Locks maintained.
Security
comes high on any householders priority list. We will help
keep your security working and maintained.
Stopcocks
checked and lubricated.
It is to late
to discover that your stopcocks have stuck when you need to turn
them off quickly. We will make sure that if you need to
turn it off, you can.
Timber
checked, where exposed, for signs of Dry/Wet rot, wood worm and
pests.
Timber is a
brilliant and versatile building medium that will last a life
time if looked after. We will help you make the most of your
timber assets.
Ventilation and gas intakes cleared. Other
problems noted.
To keep
systems working safely and effectively, keeping air inlets and
outlets clear and unobstructed
is crucial.
Boundary integrity checked visually.
Looking for
early signs of compromise from dilapidations, animals,
neighbours' children, etc.
