Getting Your Home Winter Ready

With winter fast approaching, it’s important to get your home winter ready. 

We want to share some steps you can take to make sure your home is healthy, and stays free from damp, mould and condensation during the colder months.

Check your boiler

  • Even if you don’t want to switch on your heating, it's important you test the boiler is working by switching it on for one hour, and seeing if your radiators heat up.
  • Pipes and boilers can seize up over the summer when they’re not being used.
  • If your boiler doesn’t work, get in touch with us as soon as possible so we can get it fixed in time for winter.

Check your heating systems

  • If you have a different type of heater, like storage heaters, or solar, you should check these too.
  • Run the system for approximately 20 minutes to ensure it’s working correctly.
  • If any radiators or controls aren’t working properly, get in touch with us.

Gas safety check

  • We carry out annual gas safety checks in your home.
  • If your appointment’s due, make sure you’re in for it.
  • These checks are legally required and important for your safety.
  • If you’ve missed your appointment, please get in touch to re-book as soon as possible.
