Maintenance is an important part of property ownership.

Maintenance ensures that your property performs well, keeping you warm and dry. It also helps to reduce damage from wear and tear and the effects of the weather.

Repairs are always more expensive than regular maintenance.

In order to help people to understand building maintenance and help them to look after their property, Calum Maclean was invited to work with the Inverness Town Heritage Project to produce a booklet for property owners.

This explains in simple terms how to understand their building, how to recognise the way it changes over time and how to go about maintaining it.
