SARAH’S OUTSIDE JOBS FOR SPRING
CLEAR OUT GUTTERING This is the most important maintenance job in a house. It’s all too tempting to leave it, but it’s too late once overflowing guttering has caused damp patches inside that require redecoration or worse.
CLEAN ALL GULLIES AND GRIDS Ensure they are free of debris and rotting matter.
CHECK AND FRESHEN UP OUTSIDE LIGHTING Change bulbs, clean fittings and add new ones where required.
GIVE GARDEN FURNITURE THE ONCE OVER If you arrange your garden for the summer now, you’ll see what’s in good working order and what needs attention.
GET A GARDEN MIRROR A well-placed mirror outdoors can trick the eye into making your space look twice the size.
