How to prepare your home for winter
There are several ways you can keep your home in good
condition in the winter. Please see our top tips below;
- Take half an hour to inspect your property inside and out, are there any slipped tiles on the roof, does the guttering need cleaning, is there any damp on the walls?
- Service your boiler. For as little as £50 you can have your boiler serviced which could pick up any faults in the system preventing costly repairs when winter sets in.
- Inspect and upgrade attic/roof/cellar insulation.
- Have your fireplace swept by a certified chimney sweep, as a build of creosote (from past fires) can potentially cause a house fire.
- Check batteries in smoke and carbon monoxide detectors regularly.
- Bleed your radiators . A radiator full of air is a radiator only operating at half-power.
- Whilst out of the house for long periods of time, leave the heating on low to avoid freezing pipes.
