Brr! 🥶 With more snow on the cards for some of us this week and continuing cold temperatures, freezing pipes can cause a real headache. Here are a few top tips to help keep your home safe and cosy:
✅ Keep your heating on low, even when you’re out, if you’re able to or set it to come on if the temperature drops below 7°c
✅ Let warm air flow into chilly spots with pipes in your home
✅ Insulate exposed pipes in colder areas like the loft or outside
✅ Know where your stop tap is so you can turn off your water quickly if needed
✅ Know who you can call in case of emergency
Heading away for a few days? Turning your water off before you go helps prevent significant water damage to your home if your pipes burst while you’re away.
