As temperatures begin to drop, the risk of frozen pipes and water damage increases significantly. Here are a few simple tips suggested by Aviva Insurance to help you safeguard your homes this winter:

1) Maintain consistent heating - Even when unoccupied, keep a steady temperature throughout the property.
2) Insulate exposed pipes - Focus on lofts, basements, and external areas.
3) Check stopcocks - Ensure they are working and easily accessible.
4) Monitor cold spots - Rooms with external walls or limited heating are most vulnerable.
5) Use smart technology - Leak detection systems and smart thermostats can provide early warnings.

Guidance for unoccupied homes:
1) Maintain a minimum temperature throughout the property.
2) Drain water systems if the property will be vacant for an extended period.
3) Arrange regular checks by a trusted person or property manager.

Advice if freezing occurs:
1) Turn off the water supply immediately.
2) Contact a qualified plumber before attempting any repairs.
3) Notify your insurance company promptly to ensure swift claims assistance.

Finally:
It's important to check your insurance policy documents, and policy wording to ensure you have the correct cover in place. Cover for Escape of Water resulting from frozen pipes is usually subject to terms, conditions, and exclusions of the policy.

If you'd like us to assist you in ensuring you have the correct cover in place, give us a call at your local office where we'd be happy to discuss your insurance requirements.

Today sees the start of The Environment Agency Flood Action Week. How prepared are you for a flooding event?
https://environmentagency.blog.gov.uk/category/flood/
Please remember that living in flood zone doesn't automatically mean you cannot purchase flood insurance. For homes built before 2009, in most cases there's the FloodRe scheme (domestic only). For businesses, whilst some insurers do unfortunately exclude the cover, other insurers may offer the cover with a higher excess which to some people might, on the face of it appear to render the cover pointless, but there are also additional insurance policies available which will cover the cost of the excess. Something to be considered if your next insurance renewal arrives with a flood excess you may not be able to account for.

Some lovely feedback received at our Hebden Bridge office today.

Today, one of our lovely customers popped into the office here on Market Street to thank Dani and the team for all the help, support and advice they (the customer) received in providing for their recent insurance requirements.
Whilst we don't do this for the cupcakes, it's always nice to receive positive feedback. (The cupcakes were nice though 😋)
