Now the frosty winter season is in full swing, your home will need some maintenance to help it stay in great condition during the harsh winter weather. In this article, we are going to be discussing some of the most important household jobs that you can accomplish during the winter weather to help with upkeeping the maintenance in your home. 

Check That the Draughts in Your Home Are All Sealed 

To protect your home from unwanted chilly air, ensure that all draught points are sealed. From gaps in window frames to letterboxes, you can find a solution to this issue fairly easily by installing draught excluders or adding a weighted piece of material over the draughty area. 

Clean the Drains to Avoid Blockages 

Frequently cleaning the drains will help things run a lot cleaner. Fallen leaves, dirt, and debris from the stormy weather can easily block the drains around your home so it is advised that you ensure that water is flowing smoothly. As well as drains, we also recommend frequently cleaning gutters and chimneys during this time of the year. 

Keep Your Gardens Tidy 

During winter, no one wants to be in their garden with the rain, snow, ice, and wind. So, before it gets any colder, make sure to complete your winter gardening before it gets too cold! You could remove your summer plants and flowers and opt for ones that thrive during the colder months like Primroses or Heathers. 

Inspect Your Heating System 

Our last tip for this article is to check your heating system. This is vital if you want to avoid as many issues as possible. You must check that all radiators, thermostats, and other controlled heating systems are running smoothly and that your boiler is running efficiently too.
