Maintenance Tips
ENSURE THAT YOUR HOME IS ALWAYS IN GOOD CONDITION
Keeping your home in good condition is an ongoing endeavour that requires regular attention and care. A well-kept home not only offers more comfort and security, but also contributes to a better quality of life.
In addition, preventive maintenance is essential to avoid major problems, such as expensive and unforeseen repairs.
To ensure that the house is always in good condition, we suggest that:
Check the roof regularly
The roof is one of the most exposed parts of the house and should be inspected at least once a year. It's important to check for loose tiles or cracks that could lead to leaks.
Take care of windows and doors
Windows and doors deserve special attention. Seals should be checked regularly to ensure there are no air leaks, which helps maintain the energy efficiency of the house. In addition, windows should be cleaned frequently, not only for aesthetic reasons, but also to prevent the build-up of dirt, which can damage the structures over time.
Inspect the electrical installations
Generally, preventive electrical maintenance begins with a visual inspection, carried out to check the working condition of the electrical installations, looking for faults or wear that could indicate a problem. During this inspection, it is essential to assess the physical state of the electrical installations, as well as the general condition of the distribution boards, circuits, cable trays and electrical profiles.
The presence of rust or corrosion should also be checked, as these factors can jeopardise the efficiency and safety of the installations.
Check the plumbing
Examine pipes and taps to avoid water leaks that could damage walls or ceilings. Descaling taps and showers is also important, especially in areas with hard water*, to ensure that the water pressure does not decrease and that the equipment works efficiently.
Check the wooden structures
Wooden structures, such as furniture, should be checked regularly for signs of insect or fungal infestation. Carrying out preventative treatments can help prevent premature damage and ensure the longevity of these parts of the house.
Renew your paintwork and coatings
Painting not only contributes to the aesthetics of the house, but also protects it from the weather. Exterior paint should be renewed every 5 years, while interior paint can be touched up whenever necessary. This helps to preserve surfaces and keep the environment pleasant and well-kept.
