Owning a home in Ibiza involves navigating the island's unique seasons, each demanding specific care to ensure your property remains a in good condition throughout the year. In this seasonal maintenance guide, we outline some essential tasks for spring, summer, autumn, and winter, tailored to the distinctive needs of your Ibiza home.

Spring: Preparing for the Summer Glow

Garden Revitalisation: As the island blooms, focus on revitalising your garden. Prune trees, plant vibrant flowers, and ensure irrigation systems are ready to nourish your green oasis.
Pool Prep: Before the summer heat kicks in, dedicate time to your pool. Clean and service pool equipment, check chemical balances, and ensure safety features are in top condition.
Exterior Inspection: Conduct a thorough exterior check. Address any damage from winter and consider a fresh coat of paint to protect against the impending summer sun.

Summer: Shielding Against the Intense Heat

Cooling Systems: Prioritise the service of air conditioning units. Clean or replace filters to maintain optimal efficiency during the peak of summer.
Pool Maintenance: With summer in full swing, regular pool maintenance becomes crucial. Keep the water crystal clear, service equipment, and monitor chemical levels.
Irrigation Check: Ensure your garden continues to thrive by checking and adjusting the irrigation system. Adequate watering becomes essential during the hotter months.

Autumn: Closing the House After Summer

Outdoor Furniture Storage: As outdoor activities wind down, consider storing or covering outdoor furniture to protect it from autumn rain and wind.
Ventilation and Energy Conservation: Transitioning into autumn, focus on ventilation. Set up dehumidifiers in moisture-prone areas to prevent the build-up of dampness during the cooler months. Conserve energy where possible if the house is not being used over the winter, and consider turning off non-essential boilers.
Gutter Maintenance: Clear gutters and drains from summer debris to prevent water damage during autumn rains.

Winter: Routine Inspections and Humidity Management

Routine Inspections: Conduct thorough inspections to identify and address any potential issues. Check for leaks, inspect the roof, and ensure windows and doors are sealed.
Humidity Management: Monitor humidity levels and manage them with dehumidifiers as needed. This is crucial for preventing dampness and maintaining a comfortable indoor environment.
Pruning: Conducting heavy pruning in winter is essential for the overall health of your plants. This practice removes dead or diseased branches and stimulates growth in preparation for the warmer months, ensuring a vibrant and flourishing garden.
