Keeping your home in good condition requires more than the occasional repair. A proactive, seasonal approach to maintenance helps prevent costly issues, improves energy efficiency, and ensures your property remains safe and comfortable all year round. This guide breaks down what to do each season to stay on top of essential home upkeep.
Home Maintenace Tips for Each Season
Spring
After the challenges of winter, spring is the ideal time to check for any damage caused by storms, ice or damp conditions. Start by inspecting the roof, checking for slipped tiles or signs of leakage. Clear out gutters and downpipes to prepare for spring showers. It’s also worth booking a boiler service during this quieter season so you’re not caught out next winter. While you’re at it, check for signs of mould, condensation or blocked ventilation. A bit of spring cleaning indoors and a fresh look at your outdoor space can lift the mood and highlight anything that needs work.
Summer
Summer offers the best conditions for larger projects. This is the time to refresh fencing, repaint exterior walls or doors, and check garden structures for signs of wear. If you’ve been meaning to upgrade your insulation or heating controls, don’t leave it until the colder months. It's also worth testing your fire alarms and carbon monoxide detectors, especially if they haven't been checked since winter.

Autumn
Autumn is about preparation. Clear leaves from drains and gutters to avoid blockages. Make sure your heating system is in good working order before the temperatures drop, if your boiler hasn’t been serviced, now’s the time. Draught-proof windows and doors, bleed radiators, and inspect pipework to prevent freezing problems later. You’ll also want to check external lighting and secure any outdoor features before high winds set in.
Winter
In winter, focus on monitoring and protecting your property. Keep an eye on indoor humidity to avoid mould and mildew. If you’re away for the holidays, set your heating to low rather than switching it off entirely to prevent frozen pipes. Regularly check around the property after heavy rain, snow or frost, especially roofs, pipework and outdoor steps.
