Essential Spring Home Maintenance Checklist

Get Your Home Ready for Spring

After months of cold weather, your home needs attention. A thorough spring maintenance routine prevents small issues from becoming expensive problems.

Exterior Checks

  • Roof Inspection: Look for missing or damaged tiles. Check for signs of moss or algae growth.
  • Gutters & Downpipes: Clear debris from gutters. Check downpipes are draining properly away from the foundation.
  • Driveway & Paths: Repair any cracks caused by frost. Consider pressure washing to remove winter grime.
  • Fencing: Check for loose panels or rotting posts. Treat timber fencing with preservative.
  • External Paintwork: Inspect window frames, doors, and fascia boards for peeling paint.

Interior Checks

  • Heating System: Service your boiler before the off-season. Bleed radiators if needed.
  • Smoke & CO Detectors: Test all alarms and replace batteries.
  • Plumbing: Check under sinks for leaks. Inspect exposed pipes for signs of damage.
  • Windows & Doors: Check seals and weatherstripping. Clean tracks and lubricate hinges.
  • Deep Clean: Spring clean carpets, upholstery, and hard-to-reach areas.

Garden & Outdoor Living

  • Patio: Clean and reseal paving stones. Repair any uneven slabs.
  • Drainage: Test outdoor drains are flowing freely.
  • Garden Furniture: Clean, repair, and treat outdoor furniture.
