There are lots of things that you need to prepare in and around your home as the autumn approaches. From making sure that your garden is ready for the bad weather to getting your boiler serviced so that you have that much needed heat when the outside temperatures drop lower.
One of the things that many people forget about when doing home maintenance at this time of the year, is the roof of the house. Now fortunately we don’t tend to experience lots of hurricane force winds in the UK, but there are lots of things that can damage your roof over time, and during the winter it is at its most vulnerable, so this is a good time to check up on it and make repairs if needed.
Here are some things to look out for to help prevent roof issues in the autumn and winter…
Gutters – Check all around the gutters as this is often something that can be a real issue at this time of the year. Leaves and other debris can end up in the gutters which then causes them to become blocked and damaged.
Moss on the Roof – As well as checking the gutters for blockages, you also should check the roof for moss. Moss can cause damage to the tiles that you will need to get repaired by a professional like this roofing company Gloucester https://liamtaylorservices.co.uk/
Surrounding Trees – If you have trees nearby, now is a good time to get a tree surgeon to cut them back as this will stop parts of them breaking off in storms and damaging the roof.
