Upper front
Check your roof for storm and wind damage. As well as slipped slates or tiles, debris on the ground or in gutters can indicate a problem.
Make sure gutters and downpipes are clear of leaves and other debris. Regular attention may be needed if there are trees nearby in blossom or coming into leaf.
Top tip
Fit bird/leaf guards to the tops of soil stacks and downpipes and gullies to the base of downpipes to prevent blockages.
Shopfront
Look out for cast iron gutters and downpipes that may also require repainting. Check the shopfront for storm and wind damage. Gullies beneath downpipes and around drains should be cleared out regularly.
