[vc_tta_section title=”Identifying & Recording” tab_id=”1512040880711-8096c3f3-6c2b”][vc_column_inner width=”2/3″]Routine maintenance, properly recorded, will not only protect your home but also add to the value of your home. You should get into the habit of checking the building regularly.

Early repair will prevent serious issues arising saving you time, trouble and more importantly the need for expensive repairs. It is good practice to develop the habit of looking at your property on a continuous basis, as well as taking photos to monitor any changes. You can use binoculars from the ground for a basic check of higher areas. A ladder allows for closer inspection of roofs and chimneys, but we recommend that you have a professional building surveyor or tradesperson carry out this part of the work.[vc_column_inner width=”1/3″]
