‘Tis the season to wrap up warm and protect yourself from the elements. And the same goes for your house, caravan, or motorhome.
With a further drop in temperatures expected over the coming weeks and months, as well as stormy weather, it’s worth making sure all your homes are fully protected.
Here’s some top tips to help you protect your home from damage this winter:
- Insulate – Help to keep your house warm by having good loft, wall and cavity insulation. Also protect your water pipes with lagging, especially in the loft space or in unheated rooms.
- Block out the draughts – Use draught excluders to prevent heat escaping through windows or doors by sealing gaps with tape or using draught excluder.
- Fasten down loose garden items – in stormy weather they can become missiles and cause all kinds of damage to your property
- Give the roof and guttering the once over – check for loose tiles, slates and consider removing dead branches from trees, so they don’t end up crashing through a window or roof!
- Keep the house warm – Use the central heating for short periods of time throughout the day.
- Fix any dripping taps to avoid it freezing and blocking the pipe
