Is Your Property Empty This Winter?

With winter almost upon us I thought I would mention taking some precautions against frost damage.

If you have a property that is currently vacant, you may already have made the necessary arrangements.  

I would strongly recommend that whilst the property is empty, it remains heated in order to minimise the chances of a burst water pipe.

If for whatever reason the heating is not left on, please be sure to drain down whatever water systems are on site.

As I am sure you are aware, Insurers must be made aware that a property is vacant. If the first they hear of this is via a claim, it is unlikely you will be covered. 

In my experience, some styles of property are more vulnerable than others. If you have any questions or queries, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely

MN
