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
Don’t plug multiple high-load devices into one extension
Use LED Christmas lights—they’re safer and cheaper to run
Turn off lights when you’re not at home
