Home Maintenance Planner
Every recurring job in one list, with the part of the house it belongs to.
Resources
The planner, calendar, inventory and register for the building itself and everything in it.
A house generates paperwork whether or not anyone keeps it. These resources give that paperwork somewhere to live: what the house has, what it is worth, what was done to it and when the next job falls due. Each one exists as a printable PDF, a version you fill in on screen, and — where there is arithmetic — a spreadsheet.
32 resources · every one as a printable and fillable PDF in A4 and US Letter, and online · 18 with an Excel workbook.
Every recurring job in one list, with the part of the house it belongs to.
Which jobs fall in which month, decided once and written down.
The total value of the contents, worked out from the lines rather than guessed.
What is in each room, in the order you walked it.
Make, model and serial number for every appliance, ready for a repair call.
The stages of the job in order, with start and finish dates and how long each took.
Estimate against actual for every line, with the variance worked out.
Length and width of each surface, and the area each comes to.
Where the stopcock, the gas or oil shut-off and the consumer unit are, and how to use them.
Who to ring about a person, with the relationship and two numbers each.

Your home's type, size, age and style beside each comparison.
Every flood resistance and resilience measure fitted, and where it is.
What replacing the contents of each room might cost, by group.

Every claim, its reference and what failed.
Every defect written down once, numbered, so nothing is argued about twice.
The policy, claim and loss adjuster details in one place, ready to quote.
Every meter reading, dated, in your own handwriting.
Where the problem is, described precisely enough to find again.
Every connected device, what it is and which room it is in.
Every standing cost of the property in one list, with who it is paid to.
Which documents exist for the property and what each one is.
The width and height of every opening and turn between the street and the room.
Every job done to the house, dated, with who did it.
Which photographs exist and what each one shows.
Everything the site has on this subject — sheets, workbooks and tools included — is gathered on the home hub.
Every sheet, binder, game and puzzle on Upkeep Papers is free to download, with no email and no account. Making them is not free: each one takes days of research, design and checking, and the site costs money to run. If something here saved you time, you can buy us a coffee. It is entirely optional: nothing is locked, and nothing changes if you don’t.
