Spring Home Checklist — 12 Small Jobs Worth Doing

Spring is the easiest time to look after a home — dry enough for external work, mild enough for paint, light enough for proper inspection. Twelve jobs we tackle on most spring list-days:

• Clear gutters and check downpipes for blockages.
• Check window cills for cracked filler and re-paint where needed.
• Re-seal the family bath if mould is creeping back.
• Bleed all radiators.
• Test smoke and CO alarms.
• Touch up scuffs around door frames and skirting.
• Ease any doors that catch — quick planer job.
• Check the loft hatch seal.
• Tighten loose handles and hinges across kitchen units.
• Replace any failing silicone around kitchen splashbacks.
• Check and oil garden gates and outside doors.
• Make a note of bigger jobs for autumn so they don't get forgotten.

We can do any of these as a single visit, or knock the whole list off in a single day for most homes. Just send us the list.
