Had my bike for a year now, so probably time to give my forks some kind of service?

Do I just need to take them apart and clean them etc? Or do I need to replace parts yet?

Cheers!

A bit of a clean and fresh oil should be enough. No need for new seals unless they are damaged IMO

Its up to you but if it is all pretty clean in there you can just leave the seals in place. More risk of damaging them by removing them if you are planning to reuse them. Basically open the forks up give everything a wipe, put in fresh oil and reassemble. If it's dirty inside then you will need to do a proper job.
