Guest Post: Things to do around the Home during spring | Cleaning ...

The sun is out and the temperatures are rising- it is spring! There is no better time than now to enjoy a long walk round the park and to visit a seaside location but why not take advantage of the glorious weather by refurbishing the home for the new season?

Because the weather is so nice you can pull out all the home furniture into the garden to clean it thoroughly without the worry of it getting wet. And you can open all the windows and doors all day so any paintwork can dry quicker than normal.

It is also the perfect weather to hire removal services and move home, so whether you have just moved into a new home and are redecorating, or are simply refurbishing your existing property, have a fun spring!

Spring Cleaning

Here are some top tips for revamping the home this spring:

- Spruce up the decor with bright furnishings and a fresh lick of paint to add a bit of colour into the home. It will revitalise the inside walls that have become damaged due to wear and tear and it will rejuvenate the house?s exterior after a harsh cold winter. The outside of a property can make or break a house sale as it is the first thing that a prospective buyer sees; so repair the front wall and paint the front door.

- Tidy the garden. With the warm weather and glorious sunshine, there is no better time than now to get out your gardening gloves out and tend to the overgrown shrubs and weeds. It doesn?t have to cost the earth to plant some pretty flowers and you can get the kids involved by giving them seeds to sow. Make the event entertaining by splashing them with cold water with the garden hose and bringing out the paddling pool and water guns. But be careful when digging that you do not interfere with any wiring.

- Check the plumbing. After a cold wintry season, it is vital that you check that the pipework is working properly in case it has frozen and burst. It is also the best time to check that your boiler is working as efficiently as possible.

- Check the roof. The blustery gales could have caused some of the roof tiles to become loose or even fall off which can cause huge costly repair bills as well as leaks. Leaking water can cause dampness so hire a local roofer to examine that the roof slates immediately.

- Utilise the extension. Whether you want to chill in a conservatory this spring or turn it into a greenhouse, take advantage of the extra living space.
