• Inspect and Clean Gutters: Blocked gutters can lead to water damage. Clear out leaves and debris to prevent blockages and ensure water can flow freely.

• Check the Roof: Inspect your roof for any loose or damaged tiles. Winter storms can exacerbate existing problems, so it’s best to fix them now to avoid leaks.

• Seal Windows and Doors: Draughts can make your home less energy-efficient. Check for any gaps or cracks around windows and doors and seal them to keep the warmth in.

• Service Your Heating System: Ensure your heating system is in good working order. Schedule a service for your heater or furnace to avoid any breakdowns during the coldest months.

• Protect Your Pipes: Insulate any exposed pipes to prevent them from freezing and bursting. This can save you from costly repairs and water damage.

• Trim Overhanging Branches: Winter winds can bring down branches, potentially causing damage to your property. Trim any overhanging branches to minimise this risk.

By following these tips, you can keep your property safe, warm, and well-maintained throughout the winter. If you need any further advice or assistance, the team at Think Pink Conveyancing is always here to help!
