External works protect your home from the weather and make a big difference to kerb appeal.
Roofing
Look for slipped tiles, sagging and leaks after heavy rain. Small repairs early prevent bigger bills later.
Rendering
Cracked or blown render lets water in. Modern renders can improve weatherproofing and appearance. Check planning rules if you are changing the look of the front of the house.
Driveways
New driveways over five square metres at the front of a house generally need to use permeable materials or drain to a lawn or border, otherwise planning permission may be needed.
Timing and weather
Some external work cannot be done in freezing or very wet weather. Plan ahead.
Gutters and drainage
Blocked gutters and downpipes cause many damp problems. Clear them at least once a year, usually after autumn leaf fall.
Fencing and boundaries
Check who owns a boundary before replacing fences and walls. Your title deeds or a conversation with neighbours usually settles it.
Access and scaffolding
Many external jobs need scaffolding. Factor it into your budget and, if it needs to go on the pavement, the contractor will arrange a licence.
