Spring Property Maintenance Checklist: What Every Homeowner Should Be Doing Now

As the days grow longer and the weather warms up, spring is the perfect time to give your home a little TLC. After a long, wet winter, your property may need a bit of maintenance to keep everything in tip-top shape—and prevent more costly repairs down the line.

At B & B Services Ltd, we’ve put together a handy spring maintenance checklist to help you stay on top of things this season.

✅ 1. Gutter Cleaning & Inspection

Winter winds and falling leaves can clog gutters, leading to water overflow and damage to your roof or brickwork. Spring is the ideal time to clear them out and check for cracks, leaks, or areas that need resealing.

Tip: Check downpipes too—if water isn’t flowing freely, you may have a hidden blockage.

✅ 2. Boiler Servicing

You may be turning the heating down now, but spring is actually one of the best times to book your boiler service. It ensures everything is running safely and efficiently—and it avoids the rush come autumn when everyone switches the heating back on.

Bonus: Regular servicing can extend the life of your boiler and save on energy bills.

✅ 3. External Painting & Repairs

Exterior woodwork and walls take a beating during winter. Peeling paint, worn seals around windows, and cracked rendering can all allow moisture in. Now’s the time to refresh paintwork and tackle minor repairs before they become major issues.

Ask us about: Masonry painting, window re-sealing, and woodwork restoration.

✅ 4. Garden Tap Installations

Planning to spruce up your garden this year? An outdoor tap makes watering, cleaning, and filling paddling pools a breeze. We can install garden taps in a convenient location with frost-proof fittings to see you through all seasons.

✅ 5. Check Paths, Patios & Fencing

Loose paving stones, wobbly fence posts, or damaged decking? These are not only unsightly but also a safety hazard. Spring is the perfect time to repair or replace worn-out areas before summer BBQ season begins.
