Calling a plumber out in the middle of the night because
of a burst pipe or other problems will be very expensive.
There are a few steps to take that will reduce the risk
and will also save you money on your heating costs as
well.
- Ensure all your pipe work in the loft is properly
lagged, this will save on heating costs as well as
reducing the risks of freezing
- If your boiler or water heater is in an exposed
position, i.e. garage or outbuilding, make sure a
frost stat is attached
- Check that your storage tank is lagged - a slit
water tank will result in a lot of water coming through
your ceiling
- Check that your loft insulation doesn't actually
extend beneath the storage tank. This facilitates
the heat from the house preventing your water tank
from freezing
- Have your boiler regularly serviced by a CORGI professional.
