It may also be worth simply calling us and having your boiler serviced by a registered gas safety engineer. It will give you peace of mind and ensure there is no leaking carbon monoxide.
3.Insulate water pipes
Cold weather can freeze the water in your pipes and it may cause them to burst. It will not only make you make more for the damage but also make you move out in the cold while repairing is undertaken. Insulating your water pipes by using lagging can reduce the loss of heating and prevent pipes from freezing and bursting. Uninsulated pipes in colder areas, like the loft or the basement, are more likely to burst.
4.Get your outdoor space ready
Before winter gets started you must have to ensure that your garden is clear, clean and ready for winter. You must have to secure anything that could be swept away by the wind such as greenhouses, plant pots and wheelie bins.

Roof tiles get loose throughout the year and this could lead to leaks through the winter. It is good to get your roofing and property maintenance inspected by a professional to make sure there is no leakage in the roofing and no more areas that need fixing before the weather gets colder.
