Are you looking around your home and wondering what to do with it? Are all the little problems building up, causing you to consider packing up and moving on, or can they be fixed?
A lot of wear and tear of homes have simple solutions. If you have something that’s making you dread coming home at the end of the day, take a look at our guide to help you decide if that damage can be repaired or your home is too far gone.
A damaged roof
As with most things, it depends how extensive the damage is. A few tiles dropping off aren’t enough to justify moving, but if there is a lot of damage causing problems in the home, you will need to get someone out to fix it or start looking elsewhere.
As a preventative measure, you can have your roof cleaned by a power washing service to see how your roof is shaping up. Not only will your roof be back to its sparkling state, but it can expose small problems that could become bigger over time and damage that will need treatment. From there, you can determine if the problem can be fixed simply, or it will take more extensive work.
A stained drive
Have you noticed when you pull out of your drive, a suspicious square of clean tiles or bricks where your car was? It’s a stark reminder of what state your drive was originally in and how pretty it looked before.
With stains so embedded in the drive, it can seem like a problem with no solution, but you don’t have to live with it. Power washing the drive will get rid of any stubborn stains that would usually take Cinderella levels of scrubbing, in a matter of minutes.
Or have you noticed that your patio isn’t looking it’s best? Rain causing it to change colour or even fall apart. You can also have your patio power washed to get rid of all the grime and staining that will come with the elements. You might have that mahogany patio that came with the house cleaned and be astonished to find that it’s in fact birch!
As for needing repairs, replacing a splint here and there is actually a very easy job. It won’t cost you a lot to have someone replace a piece of wood and you’ll have a patio that you can host afternoon tea on.

A dirty carpet
Have you ever looked at your carpet and thought “I could have sworn I didn’t buy grey”? One of the disadvantages to carpets is that they can start to look dull due to footprints – with or without shoes – old stains, muddy paw prints, playtime with the playdough or paint kit, and more.
There is no keeping your carpet clean forever, but you can restore it to its original state. You don’t need to go ripping it up and starting over, simply hire a carpet cleaning service and have your carpet back to its blinding white original colour. It’s a simple way to give your living room a revamp that won’t mean an entire refurbishment.
