Spring Maintenance Tips for Rental Properties

Our Spring maintenance checklist suggests that should be being performed and there’s definitely something about the satisfaction of a good spring clean!

So what jobs do we suggest should be focused upon at this time of year…

Structural maintenance: 

 

1. Roof checks for any damage or moss build-up (after some of the winter storms that the UK has experienced this year, tile damage in particular is a risk that could go unnoticed until such time as it becomes critical)

 

2. Guttering & draining – is it free of debris that could cause blockages?

 

3. Is external brickwork and paintwork free of damage or are touch-ups needed?

 

Internal:

Check your attic or loft space to ensure its still dry & moisture-free

 

Clean windows, dust light fittings, and move furniture to reach overlooked nooks & crannies

 

Get ruthless with throwing away or donating un-used or un-wanted items, or things that are past their best

 

Re-align thermostats to take into account current temperatures

 

Commence garden prep-work by mowing the lawn, and trimming back hedges & shrubs

 

All achievable tasks, I’m sure you’ll agree with us, we’re all excited to be on the way for Summer’s focus on outdoor living!
