A Home MOT is as important as a MOT for your car or your health and neglecting the "must do" task to be done could lead to a very expensive exercise indeed!
Case Study
We were called to a house that developed gray fungi mould on all corners of the ceilings in the bedrooms. After a close inspection it was clear that the rain water from the gutters was seeping in to the house. The gutters had not been cleaned for a few years.
The result was as follows:
· Edges of the roof had to be taken out to replace and strengthen the roof beams and rafters that had wet rot.
· New fascia boards and guttering were installed as the original had completely rotted away.
· All ceilings had to been taken down and replaced to get rid of the fungi
· Painting and decorating
The client's insurers refused to pay as it was negligence not an accident.
Total cost £4,500 however, to clean the gutters would have been a measly £150.00.
We provide home maintenance throughout the year to many of our clients at the one annual fee of £300.00 (plus materials) You will have a service of 2 men for a whole day to do all necessary work to be done.
