Here are some ways you can look after your home:

Clear walkways

At this time of year, the weather can be against us when it comes to slips and falls - to try and avoid these it’s a really good idea to clear any leaves from your pathway on a regular basis, and keep in grit should you need it when the ice strikes. Contact your local authority as sometimes they can supply grit.

Keep draughts at bay

A great way to be more effective with heating your home can be to stop the heat escaping! Simple items like draught excluders for doors can make all of the difference! Also be sure to close your curtains! Plenty of heat can escape through windows, but simply closing curtains before it gets dark can retain the warmth in your home.

Drains and gutters

To stop blockages, it’s recommended you clear your drains and gutters on a regular basis to prevent water damages such as mould and damp, along with leaks too.
