Your home is probably your most valuable asset and it will require regular maintenance to keep it in good condition, ensuring it continues to keep you warm, dry and safe. This guide will advise you on how to look at your home and identify areas that require maintenance. It will also give you advice on how to arrange to have work carried out by reliable and trustworthy contractors. Regular maintenance of your home will ensure:

• Small repairs don’t escalate into major problems.
• The cost of repairs are spread over a longer period, therefore more expensive repairs can be avoided.
• Your home will remain a warm, safe and healthy place to live.
• The value of your home is maintained.
• Your home does not deteriorate and therefore does not affect adjoining properties or contribute to the deterioration of the area in which you live.
