Timber homes are low maintenance when built correctly, but a small amount of care goes a long way—especially in Ireland's changeable weather.
Simple upkeep tips
- Inspect the sealant: Check window and door seals each spring to prevent drafts and moisture ingress.
- Refresh the stain: Repaint or restain exposed timber every 3-5 years to protect against rain.
- Clean gutters: Keep drainage clear to avoid water pooling near the foundation.
With these small habits, your timber house stays attractive and strong for decades.
