Plumbing: The days of the tap washer are in many cases long gone. Most taps now have cartridges. If the tap starts dripping they can be replaced – as long as one can identify them; there are many variants. If identification is not easy it’s often cheaper if not greener, to change to the whole taps as these have come down in price significantly.
Electrical: Lighting itself has undergone a revolution with the advent of LEDS and if you are not using them why not?; they save lots of money.
Appliances: Many say that the majority of appliances are not built to last and frankly it is true. The cost of repair versus replacement is marginal, particularly for older items. We don’t like it as it’s hardly green to keep disposing of goods which are hardly 10 years old but economically it’s all too often the sensible forward.
Garden woodwork: When it comes to outside woodwork our climate is designed to destroy it but nonetheless we fit sheds, decking and ornamental items on a vast scale. It pays to look after them. If your shed felt is failing, replace it before the roof begins to rot. Keep protecting decking. And do keep up the paintwork on wooden windows.
