April Home Maintenance Tasks: Cost-Effective Improvements for UK Homes
As spring arrives, April is the perfect time to refresh your home and carry out essential maintenance tasks. With milder weather and longer days, homeowners can tackle cost-effective improvements that prevent bigger repair bills later in the year. Here are the key household tasks to consider this April.
1. Exterior Painting & Woodwork Repairs
Winter can take a toll on your home’s exterior. April’s mild temperatures make it the best time to repaint fences, doors, window frames, and wooden decking. Treating timber now helps protect it from summer sun and future rain damage.
2. Gutter Cleaning & Roof Check
Blocked gutters can lead to water damage and leaks. Clearing out leaves and debris ensures rainwater flows correctly, protecting your walls and foundation. While at it, inspect your roof for loose tiles or early signs of wear.
3. Garden & Outdoor Space Preparation
Spring is ideal for revamping your garden. Clean patios and decking with a pressure washer, re-stain wooden decking, and trim overgrown hedges. Now is also a great time to build or repair sheds before summer storage needs increase.
4. Draft-Proofing & Energy Efficiency Fixes
With heating use decreasing, April is the best time to identify and fix drafts before next winter. Install draught excluders, check window seals, and consider loft insulation to lower energy bills in the long run.
5. Start Spring Cleaning & Decluttering
April’s fresh start is perfect for deep cleaning. Declutter rooms, organize storage, and refresh carpets, curtains, and upholstery. If you need more space, loft boarding is a cost-effective solution for extra storage.
