Why Spring Is the Best Time for Maintenance

The mornings are lighter, the air is warmer, and nature is starting to bloom — spring has finally arrived. It’s the season of renewal, and just as people start clearing out cupboards, washing windows, and making home improvements, businesses should be thinking about doing the same for their buildings. Especially when it comes to one of the most important features of your premises — the glass façade.

At Glass Aftercare, we know that a building’s exterior says a lot about what goes on inside. And after months of battling the elements, your façade could be crying out for attention. Spring is the perfect time to give it a little care — and here’s why.

The Hidden Impact of Winter on Your Glass Façade

Winter weather is often harsher than it seems. Heavy rain, freezing temperatures, strong winds, and icy conditions can take a toll on even the most robust glass façades. While some damage is visible — streaks, smudges, or build-up — other issues can quietly develop in the background, including:

• Worn seals and gaskets

• Loose or corroded fixings

• Minor cracks or chips that spread over time

• Blocked drainage channels

These problems might not be urgent now, but they can lead to more serious issues — like water ingress, energy inefficiency, or safety concerns — if left unchecked. Spring is the perfect time to catch and fix them before they escalate.

Why Spring Is the Best Time for Maintenance

There’s something about spring that inspires a fresh start. People are more active, businesses are planning for the months ahead, and building maintenance schedules are easier to fit in before the busier summer season.

Here are a few reasons why acting now makes sense:

1. Get Ahead of the Rush
Spring is a quieter time for many sectors, making it easier to arrange inspections or works without disrupting day-to-day operations. You can also avoid the summer backlog when everyone wants last-minute work completed.

2. Enhance Your Kerb Appeal
With longer days and brighter skies, your building is more visible than ever. A clean and sparkling façade makes a strong impression on clients, visitors, and anyone passing by.

3. Maximise Natural Light
Clean glazing brings in more natural light — which not only looks better, but can also improve productivity and wellbeing for your team inside.

4. Improve Energy Efficiency
Spring is a smart time to review your building’s thermal performance. Failed seals or damaged glazing can contribute to heat loss in winter and overheating in summer. Fixing these now helps you prepare for both.
