Top 5 Home Maintenance Tasks Every Homeowner Should Do Annually

Keeping your home in great condition doesn’t have to be complicated. With over 10 years of experience, the team at Pure Roofing & Property Maintenance has seen how regular upkeep prevents expensive repairs later.

Here are our top 5 annual maintenance tasks for every Berkshire homeowner:

1. Inspect Your Roof – Look for cracked tiles, moss, or leaks. A quick check in spring and autumn helps avoid surprises.

2. Clean Gutters & Downpipes – Clear debris to prevent overflow and water damage.

3. Repaint Woodwork – Protect fascias, soffits, and fences from moisture and decay.

4. Check Plumbing & Electrics – Small leaks or wiring issues can turn into big problems if ignored.

5. Refresh Outdoor Spaces – Tidy gardens, repair fencing, and keep pathways safe and clean.

   
   

Gutters play a crucial role in protecting your home from water damage, yet they’re often forgotten until problems occur. Blocked gutters can lead to overflowing rainwater, which seeps into your roof, walls, and foundation, causing damp, mould, and even structural decay.

At Pure Roofing & Property Maintenance, we provide professional gutter cleaning and repairs across Berkshire to keep your property safe year-round. Leaves, moss, and debris can quickly clog gutters, especially after autumn and winter storms.

Here’s why routine gutter cleaning matters:

1. Prevents leaks and damp – Keeps water flowing away from your home.

2. Protects fascias and soffits – Reduces rot and costly replacements.

3. Avoids pest problems – Birds and insects often nest in clogged gutters.

4. Improves roof lifespan – Reduces weight and standing water damage.

We recommend cleaning gutters at least twice a year. Our team safely removes blockages, checks for leaks, and ensures your entire drainage system works properly.
