Hello Spring.....time for some spring cleaning and DIY!

There is something about this time of year as we welcome spring that I feel inspired to spring clean and improve the home and garden with some much needed DIY and TLC.

With upcoming Easter bank holiday providing us with a long weekend at home as well as enjoying some family time and Easter egg hunt and activities with the kids, we have plans to tick off some of the household jobs that have been on our DIY to-do-list for too long now!

Whilst neither of us can boast good skills to do with home improvements we do like to turn our hand to DIY projects and have managed a number of projects and home improvement jobs without any major disastrous or huge arguments that has ended up with us breaking up over wallpapering the walls or assembling furniture.

Keep your home warm this Winter and reduce your energy bills.

Learn how to bleed your radiators to celebrate National Radiator Day 2014.

Over the winter months many homes across the country will see their heating bills sky rocket as the need to have the heating on more often thanks to the cold temperatures is too hard to ignore. Whilst unfortunately there’s nothing you can do about high energy prices you can help reduce your heating bills by making sure your heating system is prepared for the winter months ahead.

As an efficient heating system will use less fuel to heat your home, which in turn will help reduce your heating bills, it is vital to keep on top of essential heating system maintenance. A sign that your radiator needs a little TLC is that it takes a long time to heat up; other signs are that your radiator has cold patches or heats unevenly. Thankfully the easiest way to fix this problem and to have your heating system working efficiently is to bleed your radiator.
