Last year I had many call outs to frozen/burst pipes, its now the time to make sure all exposed pipes are fully insulated or lagged to prevent them freezing. Some of the questions I was ask were “ how to insulate my pipes?” it is quite simple, all we need to do is insulate all exposed pipes making sure they are fully lagged, “is it expensive to insulate pipes?” not really, pipe lagging is around £2 per metre, “how much to fix a frozen pipe?” it all depends on what pipe it is, also what other damage it has caused to the building, it could be form £60, but I always say prevention is better than cure.

With the cold weather soon arriving now is the time to make sure all your boilers are working as efficiently as possible by getting them serviced. “how much does a service cost” most boiler services cost £40, “how much for a fire service” fire services cost £40 too. “should I get my fire serviced” fires should be serviced as regular as boiler because carbon monoxide is a silent killer.

With house prices rising, people are renting properties more now which in turn means there are more landlords. Every landlord has to have a landlord certificate which ensures all gas appliances and pipework are safe to use .People ask “how much does a landlord certificate cost?” Well they don’t actually cost as much as people think, with the average price being £80, I believe it is little amount to make sure your tenants are safe.
