First time owning a house and it has just occurred to me I have no clue about maintenance. In flat I just waited until stuff broke/leaked/went mouldy before tackling. Am thinking prevention would be better than cure. So what maintenance tasks should I be tackling.
Interally in pretty good nick
So far I have noticed
Possible issue with gutter at front of house
Found piece of lead flashing in front garden no idea where from
Brick work on side of house seems soft, some red bricks look like they are eroding
Seems to be some water getting in beneath window in nursery.
Which of these need tackling pronto and how do I prevent getting fleeced by tradespeople? Am i missing owt?
