Garden hose retrieved from winter storage, reconnected to your tap, and tested for leaks. Ready to water your garden without you wrestling with tangled coils.
### The Spring Job That Keeps Getting Put Off
March arrives, weather warms up, garden needs watering. Your hose is... somewhere. In the shed behind the lawnmower. Coiled up wrong and kinked. Maybe in the garage. Possibly behind that stack of plant pots.
**Then when you do find it**, you've got to uncoil it, work out the kinks, find the right connector, attach it to the tap, discover it leaks, swap the washer...
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Hoses stored badly develop kinks that restrict water flow. Proper uncoiling and laying out flat for a day works wonders.

### More Than Just Connecting a Hose
Here's what actually needs checking when you get a hose out after winter:
| ✅ Done Properly | ❌ Quick Connect | |-----------------|-----------------| | Inspected for winter damage | Just hooked up blind | | Unkinked and laid out to relax | Dragged straight from storage | | Connector washers checked | Use whatever was on last year | | Full pressure test for leaks | Discover leaks while watering |
**The issue?** Hoses get brittle in cold. Connectors perish. What was fine last October might spray everywhere come spring.

Good to Know
> 🌱 **Best timing?** Late March or early April in Devon - when you're starting to think about watering but before you're desperate. **Found damage?** Let me know and I can pick up a replacement hose when I come out. Save yourself the trip and the faff of choosing the right one. **Multiple taps?** I'll connect to whichever you use most, or set up multiple hoses if you've got them. Just let me know your setup. **Reel systems:** These are brilliant when they work but can be annoying when they don't. I'll make sure yours winds and unwinds smoothly, no tangles. **Combine jobs:** Getting me out for just the hose is fine, but it makes sense to combine with spring garden tidy, gutter check, or pressure washing. Already there with the tools.
Frequently Asked Questions about Garden hose out in Exmouth
What's involved in getting the hose out for spring?
I fetch it from wherever you stored it (shed, garage, etc), uncoil it properly to avoid kinks, connect it to your outdoor tap, turn the water back on, and check for any leaks. Basically the reverse of putting it away - but done carefully so nothing gets damaged.
Can you check the hose still works after being stored all winter?
Absolutely - that's part of the service. I'll turn it on and check the full length for splits, cracks, or leaks that might have developed over winter. If there's a problem I'll let you know straight away rather than you discovering it mid-watering.
What if the hose is damaged or the tap's leaking?
I'll spot it and advise. Simple fixes like replacing a washer or connector I can often do there and then. If you need a new hose or the tap needs proper repair, I'll let you know and can either pick up what's needed or do the repair as a separate job.
Do you reconnect hose reel systems too?
Yes - reel systems, wall-mounted units, the lot. I'll make sure everything's connected properly, no leaks, and the reel winds smoothly. These can be fiddly to reconnect after winter storage.
Can you do this as part of a spring garden tidy?
Perfect combination actually. I can get your hose sorted while I'm clearing winter debris, checking plants, tidying borders. Makes sense to do it all in one visit.
