Home maintenance checklist
A starting list for recurring household jobs.
- Test smoke alarms
- Test carbon monoxide alarm
- Clean washing machine filter
- Clean dishwasher filter
- Check extractor or cooker hood filter
- Check gutters and drains
- Check sealant around baths and showers
- Review heating or boiler service
- Check first-aid kit
Choose the timing that fits your situation.
Homes, products, responsibilities and local requirements differ. Follow manufacturer instructions, professional advice and local rules where relevant.
How to use this home maintenance list
Start with the equipment and responsibilities that actually apply to your home. Check manuals, service records and local guidance, then turn the relevant items into recurring routines with intervals that fit each product and property.
Keep a useful record
When a job is done, log the real completion date. That gives you a clearer starting point for the next filter clean, alarm check or service review than an unchanged calendar date.
Less to think about.
Add a routine, choose how often, then mark it done when you do it. Since keeps the next one in view.
