Top tips

• First register for MaintenanceBooker to receive your unique login details. Now you are ready to log in to the MaintenanceBooker website to create your job.
• Have a go at estimating the guttering meterage of your place of worship or building. You can do this by looking at a scale plan of your building; measuring the outside of your building with a tape measure where gutters are visible or simply just measure your stride and pace around your building! The supplier can give you a more accurate quote if you can supply these measurements when you are creating your job on MaintenanceBooker.
• Walk around your building and count the number of downpipes and drainpipes you can see. This information will also help the supplier quote more accurately.
• Gather together any images or relevant documents you have regarding your building which you can digitally attach to your job request for the supplier.
• And don’t forget to apply for a Preventative Maintenance Micro-Grant while the opportunity is still open and save money!

Good luck!
