Homeowners doing a seasonal round rather than waiting for something to fail.
How to use it

- Work outside-in: roof and gutters first, then cooling, then inside.
- Date each line as you finish it.
- Note anything that needs a professional in the margin.

2 pages, in this order:
Page 1
Printed under the title: The jobs worth doing as the weather warms, when access is easy and the heating is off. Tick and date as you go.
Outside
- Clear gutters, hoppers and downpipes; run water through to check flow

- Check flashing around chimneys, valleys and roof lights
- Look for blocked or damaged air bricks and vents
- Check render, pointing and exterior paint for cracks
- Reseal or repaint exterior timber, decking and fencing
- Clear drains and gullies of leaves and silt
- Check outside taps and hoses for frost splits
Cooling and air
- Service or clean the air conditioning or heat pump before the season
- Replace or wash ventilation and extractor filters
- Clear debris from around the outdoor condenser unit
- Check condensate drains are running freely
Inside
- Vacuum fridge and freezer condenser coils
- Flush the water heater and test the pressure relief valve
