    Maintaining a home extension

    A well-built extension needs little maintenance, but roof, gutters, seals and finishes still deserve regular checks.

    Maintenance protects the investment and prevents small issues from becoming leaks or damage.

    Most tasks are simple when they are done on time.

    Roof and drainage

    Flat roofs, outlets and gutters should be checked after autumn and heavy weather.

    Blocked drainage is one of the easiest problems to prevent.

    Frames and seals

    Sliding doors, rooflights and windows need clean tracks, intact seals and correct adjustment.

    Small air or water leaks should be handled early.

    Exterior finishes

    Timber cladding, render and paint have different maintenance cycles.

    Follow the material-specific schedule to keep the extension looking good.

    Summary

    Simple annual checks keep an extension watertight, efficient and attractive.
