Annual home maintenance checklist
Check-ups you don’t need to think about every minute of every day, but you should do at least once a year (or once every two years at least).
The Year-Round Home Maintenance Checklist
Tick off the jobs that keep your home safe, warm and watertight — season by season. Your progress saves on this device, so take it with you.
⚠️ Skip these and it gets expensive
- Annual boiler service — a Gas Safe service catches faults before they become a breakdown or a danger.
- Clear gutters before winter — blocked gutters cause damp, rot and leaks that cost far more than the clean.
- Test smoke & CO alarms monthly — the cheapest, most important job on this list.
- Lag pipes before the first frost — a burst pipe is the priciest winter emergency of all.

- Check-ups in spring;
- Check-ups in summer;
- Check-ups in autumn;
- Check-ups in winter.
