Basic Maintenance
- Keep your gutters and drains clear of sticks, dirt, leaves or other debris. Thus, ensuring that the gutters are free from any blockages. Blockages could easily cause an overflow and potentially stain the sides of your new building.
- One of the easiest ways of keeping your beautiful steel or metal framed building looking as good as new is to simply wash the structure using a jet wash.
- Looking after your roller shutter doors is also a very simple maintenance step to take which again can be done with a jet wash. Ensure that you check the working mechanism of the roller, cables and track. Malfunctioning doors risk letting water into your building. Always ensure the seal at the bottom of your door meets the floor perfectly.
- Using a soft bristle brush to keep the roof looking good as long as you don’t mind getting up there of course!
- For insulated buildings, ensure no exposure, damage or evidence of moisture exists.
