Rain, wind, frost and summer heat each put different pressures on a home. Knowing what to look for through the year can help you spot wear and tear before it becomes a bigger problem.
Winter brings the possibility of frozen pipes and extra demand on heating systems. Spring and autumn can expose blocked gutters, roof defects and drainage problems when the rain arrives. In summer, prolonged heat and dry conditions may cause outdoor timber, sealants and other materials to expand, shrink or fade.
Each season brings a different set of small warning signs. The useful habit is to notice changes rather than wait for something to fail.
Overflowing gutters can leave walls wet; high winds may dislodge tiles or damage fences; and changing temperatures can reveal cracks around external sealant or pipework. A problem that looks minor from the garden can sometimes be the first sign of damage that needs attention.
For roof defects, make visual checks from ground level only. Do not climb onto roofs or use ladders for work you cannot carry out safely. If water is pooling around a drain, our drainage team can help investigate.
Look over gutters and downpipes after heavy rain, check for loose fencing after high winds, and deal with obvious draughts before winter — without blocking purpose-provided ventilation. Arrange appropriate servicing for your heating system, and investigate new damp patches or leaks promptly.
