Avoid a Christmas Disaster!

Keep your home safe, warm, and problem-free this festive season with these quick maintenance tips:

❄️ 1. Prevent Burst Pipes

• Insulate exposed pipes in lofts, garages, and outbuildings

• Keep heating on low if you’re away

• Know where your stop tap is—just in case!

  
  

🚰 2. Stop Taps from Freezing

• Disconnect garden hoses

• Lag outdoor taps or use a tap cover

• Let a small trickle of water run during extreme cold

  
  

🌧️ 3. Avoid Roof Leaks

• Clear gutters of leaves and debris

• Check for loose tiles after strong winds

• Make sure downpipes are flowing freely

  
  

🔌 4. Prevent Electrical Overload
