Get Your Home Ready for Spring
24 February 2026
You know what comes with Spring?
No, not lambs and daffodils (well, those as well), but the long-awaited annual spring clean.
At this point spring cleaning is almost a tradition.
Spring cleaning the exterior is just as important as spring cleaning the interior.
Clean Gutters and Downpipes
Remove leaves, twigs, and debris to ensure proper drainage.
Check for any signs of damage and repair as needed.
Inspect the Roof
Check for leaks or signs of wear and tear.
Schedule professional repairs if necessary
Refresh Exterior Paint and cladding
Inspect the exterior walls for peeling paint or damaged cladding.
Touch up paint or consider a fresh coat for a new look.
Repair or replace damaged cladding to protect your home.
Maintaining Fascia and Soffit
Inspect for Damage
Check for any signs of rot, cracks, or damage on the fascia and soffit.
Look for peeling paint or areas where the plastic may be exposed.
Clean Thoroughly
Use a soft brush or cloth to remove dirt, cobwebs, and debris.
For tougher grime, use a mild detergent mixed with water and gently scrub the surfaces.
Repair and Replace
Replace any damaged or rotting sections of fascia and soffit.
Fill small cracks or holes with filler and sand smooth once dry.
Consider hiring a professional for extensive repairs or replacements.
Repaint or Refinish
Apply a fresh coat of paint or stain to protect the plastic and enhance the appearance.
Choose a high-quality exterior paint or stain that can withstand the elements.
Ensure Proper Ventilation
Check that soffit vents are clear and unobstructed to allow for proper airflow.
Clean or replace any clogged vents to prevent moisture buildup and improve attic ventilation.
Regular Maintenance
Schedule regular inspections and cleanings to keep fascia and soffit in good condition.
Address any issues promptly to prevent further damage.
Or how about replacing your current fascia, soffit and guttering with new. Having an inhouse spray paint shop we can do it in any colour you fancy.
