Well, spring has finally sprung and we are receiving a lot of requests from clients for handyman projects at this time of year. Many home owners are looking to do the maintenance jobs around their homes that were neglected during the cold winter months. In this update we look at some of the common jobs we are tackling in October 2018.

Gutter Repair and Cleaning

With the wild weather we have been experiencing over the last few weeks many homes in the inner west of Sydney have guttering that is now totally clogged with leaves, twigs and other debris. The heavy rain has made it obvious to some households that their guttering is leaking and needs urgent attention. We have all the experience and tools to tackle the majority of guttering related problems. We have ladders that allow us to easily access gutters of double storey homes and can seal and replace rusted out sections of guttering or replace your existing non functioning guttering.

We find that most people are aware that products like colorbond guttering (and roofing) as pictured above offers both good value and long term reliability and weather resistance when it comes to guttering systems.

Gutter Guard – Stopping Leaves From Accumulating In Gutters

If your home has trees that are overhanging your property, then there is a very good chance that your gutters are clogged with leaves. This can become a major problem for several reasons. Firstly, the leaves, over time, will degrade into an abrasive ‘mush’ – this can lead to the guttering becoming rusted through in areas. It is like applying a fine sandpaper to guttering over an extended period of time – which, eventually, leads to holes in the gutters. The solution is to install gutter guard – a job that we are well experienced in.

Gutter Guard comes in a huge variety of forms. We tend to like the aluminium fine mesh gutter guard. It is very durable, will not rust and will stop not just small leaves from clogging your gutters but also fine berries that the trees may drop during certain periods of the year.

House Painting

As part of a spring clean, you may be considering painting the exterior of your home. We have lots of experience in all aspects of painting, and, importantly, selecting the correct paints and finishes that will guarantee a long term, durable finish. In Sydney;s harsh climate it is imperative to use the right paints – be they water based or oil based. Our prices for house painting are very competitive and we guarantee our work.
