Spring is here…….says Handyman Dave!

Spring has sprung…..as they say!  The cold winter months are almost behind us.  That feeling of happiness with the first rays of sunshine for Spring gives us all a sense of positivity.  We venture outside, spending more time in the garden and around the house.  We inevitably find that the house needs some TLC!  It’s time to make the house look fantastic again, and ensuring your property is safe.  Making sure you’re maintaining your home, especially for the harsh summer sun ahead, is a must-do!

Here’s a few handyman tips on the attention you need to give your home:

  1. Clean your gutters – Ensure the gutters and downpipes are clean and free of debris to avoid over-spill from water. Over-full gutters lead to internal flooding.
  2. Re-staining/re-sealing your timber decking – This will ensure it’s not damaged from the summer sun.
  3. Cut back trees growing too close to roofs and wall structures – this can be a potential fire hazard in the summer.
  4. Check all fly screens.  Do they need replacing?
  5. Pressure clean driveways and paths from the build up of mildew over winter.  Always give your property a fresh look.
  6. Clean windows around the house – they build up with grime and rain stains over winter.
  7. Re-spray your fences with a fresh coat of paint.  This ensures better protection from the summer sun and gives your whole property a clean look.

These are all simple things that can be done, but better left to a professional.  Dave’s Home Maintenance can help with all your property maintenance needs, at an affordable cost.
