Severe weather coming to an exposed pipe near you

It is the end of January, and if we can believe the weather people, we are heading for a period of very cold days and nights.

Do you know where all your pipes run? Are any exposed to freezing temperatures? A burst pipe in an unheated, unlagged loft can create a deluge that render a home or business premises uninhabitable for many months. Take a look around and check that everything is in good shape.

The cold weather will make all of our heating work harder; have you serviced your gas boiler recently? when discussing business prospects with a heating engineer last week, he was bemoaning the lack of business caused by too much good weather. It takes a cold snap to boost his profits. So...take action now if your system has not been serviced.

In general, take nothing for granted. Check around your home or works and apply common sense.
