Sewers

Your sewage pipes can burst, clog up, or even begin to emit a nasty smell at any point during the year. While the temperature can affect your sewage pipes, it's important to take care of it all year round. You can do this by ensuring you don't flush anything large down your toilet, and ensure that anything that is flushed can decompose quickly rather than clogging up your pipes. If you're struggling with blocked pipes and drains, using bicarbonate of soda with white vinegar and a flush of hot water can help clear any blockages in your pipe.

Roofing problems

No matter what time of the year it is, something can go wrong with your roof. From a slipped tile thanks to pigeons and blackbirds landing on your roof to droughts and leaks, they're all rather annoying and need sorting as soon as possible. While it's totally possible to sort some roofing problems yourself (provided you have a ladder and are brave enough to be on your roof), there are some repairs that are simply left best to the experts. Look for local residential roofing services so you've always got the number to hand should something go wrong.

While you're fixing any problems you may be having with your roof, be sure to check your guttering for any blockages so that you can clear any debris while you're up there.

Curb appeal

Your home deserves curb appeal whether you're planning on selling or not. There's nothing wrong with taking pride in the exterior of your home! Here are some easy ways to boost your home's curb appeal:

- Paint your front and garage door the same colour to keep it looking fresh and stylish. Check for any droughts, that your doors work properly, and that handles don't need replacing.

- Clear any weeds from your front lawn. This will instantly make your home look more inviting and well cared for.

- Add homely details like a personalized door number and some garden ornaments that take your fancy

- Lay down a path leading to your front door - you'll thank yourself when the weather is bad and it's muddy out!

- Install some lights to complement features of your home both in the day and when it's dark.

- Maintain your windows - on both sides! Take the time to check for droughts, clean them, and give the frames a lick of paint if they're looking old and worn.

Keep an eye out for these things all year round!
