Our Top Tips for Dealing with the crazy winter weather!

1. Make sure that you regularly clean out your gutters, downpipes and drainage systems so that they don’t overflow and cause problems for you when these heavy downpours hit!

2. Prevent damage to the exterior of your property by ensuring that objects are either tied down or stored properly so that the winds (which have been reaching up to 100km/hr!) don’t push them around.

3. After each bad weather event make sure that you do a walk-around of your house so that you find any leaks/drafts as soon as you can after they begin to occur! This can decrease the impact of the damage later on, and ensure that you have prepared that weaker area for the next storm. Be mindful to pay particular attention to windows, doors and ceilings.

4. Make sure that before using heating systems you clean your air vents to prevent the build up of dust. This can be both a safety hazard and save you money for heating costs. If you have portable heating systems then ensure that they are always kept away from fabrics and aren’t left on unattended or in small areas.

5. Prepare to warm up your property! Change those sheer blinds for warmer, heavier curtains to prevent cool air entering through windows. Lay down rugs to cover cold, hard flooring. Stock up on cosy blankets to keep around the house for those colder nights, and stay warm this winter.
