Regularly inspect the exterior of your windows

Sunny days are perfect for cleaning and inspecting the outside of your windows.  Wind, rain, salt and pollution can really take its toll.

Go outside while the weather’s good and check out your window frames and sills.  Look for corrosion, water damage, condition of weather stripping and flaking or peeling paint.  If you get onto problems straight away there’s a good chance you can stop them from getting worse and save yourself lots of money in future repairs.

If you have any broken panes, replace them.  Not only to make your home look better but more energy efficient too.

Getting rid of all the built up grime is very important as it can etch and scratch the glass.  Check out some of the fantastic window cleaning products that are sprayed on then hosed off. They’re especially good for areas that are hard to get to. 

Always remember, if you need to get on a ladder for any reason have someone with you at all times.
