Do you think it’s too soon to think about Christmas? We don’t! Planning ahead is all part of our luxury property maintenance services at Mister Peele, and as we move from summer into fall and winter, preparing your property for these seasons can help reduce maintenance costs and prevent damage.
The shift in seasons always brings beautiful moments: the leaves turn a vibrant auburn color and the temperature drops, bringing with it bright, crisp mornings. However, unless you are prepared, the changing seasons can also bring obstacles.
Leaves can block drains creating plumbing issues and leaks. If your heating system hasn’t been used in a while, there might be faulty pipes or parts that need fixing. And fresh bouts of heavy rain can also damage a property if the roof and guttering hasn’t been properly maintained. Here’s how we can winterize your property in six simple steps.
1. General maintenance check
As part of our services, we can provide your luxury property with an expert and meticulous survey from top to toe. By evaluating the current state of your home, we can highlight key areas that require maintenance. This also means focusing on smaller details, such as topping up the silicone around the windows to prevent cold air from the outside coming in. Steps like these will also help to increase the insulation efficiency of your home. Best of all, you won’t be in a long queue for maintenance repairs on the coldest days of the year.
2. Servicing the heating system
Obviously, one of the key elements for winter is ensuring you have enough warmth in your beautiful home. We will check and inspect your furnace or heat pump to check the system is clean and in good repair. We can also check if the radiators need bleeding, check the boiler and clean any filters and vents. This means that everything will be in perfect working order before it gets too cold.
3. Roof and gutter maintenance
It’s important to check that the exterior of your home is suitably maintained so it can endure colder and wetter weather conditions. Our team of experts can check the roof for damage and fix it to prevent leaks. It’s equally important to clear the gutters – any blockages from leaves and debris will cause water to back up against the house and damage it.
4. Call us any time, 24/7
We’re always here 24/7 to answer your queries and respond to any maintenance requests. Our online portal makes it easier than ever to message us and check what work is being completed and when. We aim to undertake proactive maintenance to the prevent the need for emergency works, however, if something does happen, such as a broken boiler or a leak, we will be able to come and fix it night or day.
5. All your information in one place
Our online portal stores all the information about the maintenance of your house in one place. This means that you can check on your house at any time of day, from anywhere in the world. We also provide budget breakdowns so you can compare your costs year to year, and season by season.
6. Preparing for your arrival
In addition to maintaining the structure and mechanical elements of your luxury property during the winter, we also provide exceptional personal pre-arrival services. So, whether that’s having your laundry done, having the beds made or setting up a roaring fire, we can make sure your home is set up to greet you with a warm welcome.
