RANA risk management has put together some simple tips to help you prepare for the extreme cold.
| • |
If you are going away leave the heating on low (recommended minimum 13 C) and leave the loft door or hatch open to allow warm air to circulate. |
| • |
Leave your kitchen and bathroom cabinet doors open to let warmer air circulate around pipes, which are often against cold walls at the back of cupboards. |
| • |
Dripping taps should be fixed and blocked overflows cleared. |
| • |
Ensure your boiler is serviced every 12 months. |
| • |
In the event of frozen pipes, always know where your stopcock is located and keep the number of a reliable, local plumber handy. |
