Autumm is with us once again! And the 6 monthly check of your home before winter sets in! That's right - if you want to avoid being part of the usual news statistics which every year tell us how many people were caught short by burst water pipes, non-functioning radiators, overflowing gutters and fallen aerials, now is the time to do something about it!Like regular vehicle servicing according to mileage, ideally, you should inspection your property with an increased list of items to check every 6 and 12 months. You will also be due for a major house MOT at 5 years too! In this way, you avoid unecessary problems and save money - just by carrying out a little regular maintenance.If you're not sure about carrying these checks out, then AbleSkills has all sorts of short Handyman courses which can give you practical advice on electrics, plumbing, heating and decorating issues.House checks should be made in Spring and Autumn and by doing a check NOW, you can put anything right which will prevent having those bigger problems during the winter.Exterior Checks - mostly a ground level check is sufficient to detect some sign of a problem.
