Being a landlord comes with its fair share of challenges, and navigating through them can sometimes feel like a daunting task. From dealing with maintenance issues to ensuring tenant satisfaction, there's a lot on the plate for landlords to manage. In this blog post, we'll be sharing some of the most common problems landlords ask us for help with – and how Kingfisher have the essential products to help solve those problems!
Mould in the Bathroom: One of the most prevalent issues faced by landlords is the presence of mould in the bathroom. This not only affects the aesthetics of the property but also poses health risks to tenants.
The solution: Our wonder-products Mould Cure and Thermapaint are a formidable combo! First, apply Mould Cure. Unlike ordinary cleaners, Mould Cure contains special ingredients that specifically target and neutralize mould spores more effectively. Next, paint the area with Thermapaint. This innovative paint contains thermal ceramic beads that help reduce condensation, depriving black mould of the moisture it needs to thrive. Plus, its special fungicide properties make it impossible for mould to use the paint as a food source, stopping its growth in its tracks. With Mould Cure and Thermapaint, landlords can finally tackle bathroom mould with confidence.
Moss and Weeds on the Path: Another frequent problem landlords encounter is the growth of moss and weeds on the path leading to the property. Not only does this detract from the property's curb appeal, but it can also present safety hazards for tenants and visitors.
The solution: Our K-Seal Block & Paving Sealer offers premium-grade protection for pathways and patios, repelling stains, penetrating deeply to prevent water and frost damage, and inhibiting the growth of moss and weeds. With easy maintenance and no risk of yellowing or cracking, it ensures a more attractive and safer entrance to your landlord property.
Flaking Paint on External Walls: Flaking paint on external walls not only looks unsightly but can also indicate underlying issues such as moisture penetration or poor paint quality. Addressing this problem promptly is crucial to maintaining the integrity of the property.
The solution: Our Weatherflex exterior masonry paint, available in a range of contemporary colors, is the answer for landlords dealing with flaky, fading external paint. Its flexibility prevents flaking by moving with the substrate, while its durability ensures long-term performance in extreme conditions. Plus, its microporous finish keeps water out while allowing moisture to evaporate, maintaining the property's integrity. With Weatherflex, landlords can easily refresh their property's exterior, ensuring lasting good looks and protection – as well as happy tenants!
Leaking and Weathered Roof: A leaking or weathered roof can lead to a host of issues, including water damage, mould growth, and compromised structural integrity. It's essential for landlords to address roof maintenance and repair promptly to avoid costly repairs down the line.
The solution: Kolourseal's water-based, pure acrylic polymer formulation is favored by professionals and DIYers alike for its ease of use and effectiveness. Kolourseal not only transforms tired and faded roof tiles but also waterproofs and seals them, preventing water ingress and stopping moss and mould growth. With its microporous formulation, Kolourseal allows the roof to breathe while providing long-lasting protection, boasting a 10-year lifespan. Additionally, its outstanding depth of color lifts the appearance of the entire property, making it a go-to solution for landlords looking to restore and protect their roofs.
Damp External Walls: Dampness in external walls can be a persistent problem, especially in older properties or those with poor insulation. Left unaddressed, dampness can lead to structural damage and health issues for tenants.
The solution: Stormseal is your go-to solution for tackling damp external walls, making it a landlord's best friend. With its effortless application, Stormseal seals damp walls from further moisture penetration, keeping your property dry and protected. Plus, its micro-porous formulation ensures breathability, allowing trapped moisture to escape while preventing new moisture from seeping in. Not only does Stormseal suppress salting on brick walls and control moss and mould growth, but it also improves energy efficiency by reducing evaporative heat loss.
