Get your home ready for the cold

Friday, January 26, 2007

With snow, ice and frost spreading across the UK, insurers have given

their top tips on how to make sure your home is ready for the cold snap. There will be a 15 per cent increase in burst pipe claims in the first three months of the year as extreme weather becomes more common, Lloyds TSB Insurance predicts."So far this winter we’ve had relatively mild weather so many homeowners were caught unprepared for this cold snap," said managing director Phil Loney.

"A little bit of effort now could save you a lot of wasted time and stress caused by problems such as burst pipes or broken boilers.

"To give yourself piece of mind, make sure you have adequate

home insurance that will cover you if the icy conditions do take their toll." Lloyds TSB Insurance offers the following advice to help homeowners protect their property from the cold: Locate your stopcock, gas valve and ball valves - so you know where they are if a problem occurs Store a torch with spare batteries in a safe, but accessible place, with a list of telephone numbers such as a plumber, heating engineer, glazier, electrician or roofing contractor

If you are going away on holiday, leave your heating on low for a short time each day to avoid pipes freezing

Keep drain gratings, gutters and down pipes free of leaves and debris

Insulate outside stand pipes, taps, lag pipes and tanks in your loft

Have chimneys swept and heating appliances serviced

Repair broken fences, gates and boundary walls

Have the number of your insurer to hand, in case the worst happens. If you are away, give your insurance details to a trusted neighbour
