Important information and advice for frosty weather
1] Do you know where your water turns off ? is it accessible ? does it actually work ?
2] Turn off cold water stopcock when going to bed or leaving house unattended.
3] If you have tanks in your attic, lift and leave attic hatch ajar a little to allow some warm air into the attic.
4] Leave gas and oil central heating on 24hrs and turn the radiators down low but do not turn off.
5] If your boiler has suddenly stopped working and / or flashing an error code it may indicate that the condensate waste pipe from the boiler is choked with frozen water. Disconnecting or cutting the waste pipe below the boiler and placing in a bucket can help keep the boiler going. Remember to empty the bucket every now and then.
6] Remember that frozen pipes only burst when the weather gets better and the temperature starts to rise. Be extra vigilant and still follow the above advice for a couple of days after the thaw.
