| Period | Focus | Tasks | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spring (Mar–May) | Post-winter inspection | Check roof and gutters · service boiler · test smoke alarms · repaint exterior if needed · lawn first cut · garden prep | The busiest maintenance season |
| Summer (Jun–Aug) | Outdoor and cosmetic | Window cleaning · fence/deck treatment · check damp in basement/roof · outdoor tap serviced · regular lawn care · pruning | Best weather for exterior work |
| Autumn (Sep–Nov) | Winter preparation | Clean gutters (falling leaves) · bleed radiators · insulate pipes · check draughts · service appliances | Most critical season for prevention |
| Winter (Dec–Feb) | Indoor checks | Check boiler performance · test carbon monoxide detector · insulation check · fix any water ingress found | Coldest pipes are most vulnerable |
Regular maintenance to prevent premature aging
The 1% rule: budget 1% of your property value per year for maintenance. e.g. a 300,000 home needs 3,000/year budget.
Small maintenance issues cost 5–10× less to fix than neglected ones. Monthly checks take 15 minutes and save thousands.
