After winter, your gutters and drains will have a build up of debris. Clear them out to ensure good drainage before the spring showers arrive.

Condensation often builds up over the winter months creating damp patches and causing mould to grow. Check window sills, corners, behind big heavy furniture that doesn't get moved much and any other areas prone to moisture buildup. Clean affected areas you find and ensure good ventilation going forward.

Winter storms can cause damage to your roof, which might not be obvious until spring. Check for loose tiles, cracks, and damaged flashing - repair now to avoid bigger problems later in the year.

Winter weather can weaken seals and let moisture in, so give them a once-over and re-seal any that are damaged.

Make sure your shed or outdoor storage is secure and hasn't been compromised by winter weather. Check locks, roofing, and any leaks that may have sprung.

Spring is the perfect time to tidy up the garden. Clear away leaves, dead plants, and debris, and prune any shrubs or trees that need a spring trim. Check fences and garden furniture for damage caused by winter weather.

It's cliche, but tackling a thorough spring clean will refresh your living space. Dust surfaces, clean carpets, and wash windows to eliminate winter grime and prepare for warmer days. Declutter as you go to keep the vision of your renovation alive
