Record sheets

From the sheet library — property records · home systems · safety checks · water and pools · moving and buying.

Home Maintenance Schedule

Turn a vague intention to look after the house into a page you can tick off, so the jobs that only need doing once or twice a year actually get done.

PR-01 2 pages Property records

Home Service History Register

Keep one continuous record of everything that has been serviced, repaired or replaced, so the history of the building exists in one place rather than in a drawer of loose invoices.

PR-02 1 page Property records

Boiler Service Record

Keep the proof of annual servicing that boiler warranties commonly ask for, and an index of which engineer did what.

HS-01 2 pages Home systems

Water Heater Maintenance Log

Track the two jobs that decide how long a water heater lasts: flushing out sediment and replacing the sacrificial anode before it is gone.

HS-02 2 pages Home systems

Smoke and CO Alarm Test Log

Prove the alarms were tested, and catch the thing most people miss: alarms have an expiry date, and a working test button does not mean a working sensor.

SC-01 2 pages Safety checks

Fire Extinguisher Check Log

Keep a dated record of monthly visual checks, and separate them clearly from the professional servicing that premises usually also need.

SC-02 2 pages Safety checks

Pool and Hot Tub Water Records

A spot reading is one frame from a film. Logging chemistry as a series shows what your water is doing, and filter pressure tells you more than you think.

Everything here is free

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.
