Home maintenance advice

Summary

Practical help and advice about how to maintain and carry out simple repairs to your home.

DIY is not easy.  Hopefully this guide will give you the confidence to tackle basic home repairs and alert you to the danger of taking on too much before getting professional help.  However, the more work, especially preventive, you can do yourself, the more money you will save in the long run.

Practical help and advice about how to maintain and carry out simple repairs to your home can be found in the Home Maintenance leaflet (PDF, 193Kb).

Suffolk Constabulary's SAFEKey web page contains details of a scheme to allow the police quick access to the keys of your home or business via a nominated person in an emergency.
