Check Your Home’s Safe
Inspecting Your Roof
Investing time into the protection of your home starts at the top, with the investigation of any potential damage or problems with your roof structure. Even the slightest crack or slipped tile can be the cause of much larger damage to your home’s ceilings, walls, insulation, and even electrical systems, leaving you exposed to the winter elements.
If you’re one for heights, by using a ladder checking your roofline and tiles can be done with ease. Simply climb up and check over for any blockages to your drains or damage running along your roof. If you’re not confident with heights or find any potential issues whilst inspecting your roof, the next best step is to call in a professional to properly assess your roof and plan for any potential repairs needed.

Drain the Rain
Essential Gutter Care for Winter Weather
As one of the primary causes of undetected damage to the home, the likelihood of blocked guttering increases as the winter months approach. Leaves, twigs and debris carried by stronger winds can lead to flooding and leaks throughout your entire guttering system.
If left unchecked this debris can lead to your home’s guttering being damaged, leaving nothing to protect your foundations from rainfall.
Damage done to guttering is not repairable and will most likely mean your guttering system will need to be either in part or completely replaced. With traditional guttering and seamless aluminium guttering available, the perfect guttering system for your home structure and aesthetic can be installed to protect your home from water damage.
Locking in the Warmth
Door & Window Installation
Letting cold air in and warm air out, even if you don’t know about it over time gaps can form between the frames of your windows and doors. Expanding over time, these gaps can lead to additional damage to your home as well as increase your energy bill, as your home has to fight against the weather to stay warm through the winter.
Not only does damage to your home need repairing, but you also need to be sure your windows and doors are energy-efficient to help reduce heating costs. With 28mm double-glazed, 40mm triple-glazed windows and energy-efficient doors available your home will be cosy all year-round.
