Post-Summer Clean on Your Home Exterior

As the season of sun lounging, garden parties and school holidays come to an end, it is time to prepare for winter. A post-summer clean on your home exterior can help to prepare your property for the colder months. In addition, it will create a welcoming atmosphere and enforce home pride over the holiday season.

But with so much to cover, here is our guide on where to start with your post-summer clean.

Roofing and Guttering

With autumn finally here, we can expect a rise in rain, wind and falling leaves. Checking that your gutter system is clean and secure is essential. To keep a roof over your head, we also advise for homeowners to check their roofs for signs of damage. Therefore, any cracks causing leaks can be repaired before it’s too late.

Gardening

After endless hours of enjoying the sun in your garden, it is time to pack away your decking furniture. Clean your hot tub, cover your furniture and sweep the decking to provide protection against weather conditions.

Follow up by trimming your hedges and cutting your grass for a neat appearance, with healthier grass. Regular grass cutting can help your lawn to grow more evenly, as they absorb water and sunlight.

Exterior Cleaning

Hiring a pressure washer for a post-summer clean can make a real difference. It offers a chemical-free approach to removing dirt and debris from your garden pavements, providing a clean and refreshed look.

For your home exterior, we suggest more gentle cleaning to prevent damage and paint chipping. Different exteriors will require different care. However, if you are unsure, a soft sponge and bucket of soapy water can get you started.

Interior Protection

By protecting your home exterior, you are also protecting your interior. Preventing leaks can help to avoid water damage, stains and mould. Once these problems begin, they can create an unpleasant appearance and odours if not thoroughly cleaned away. Therefore, if you have repairs to complete on your to do list, attend to them as soon as possible.
