Frost precautions

In very cold weather water in pipes can freeze making the pipes burst. This can cause sever damage to your home and everything in it as well as neighbours' homes. To reduce the risk of damage caused by frost there are some steps you can take.

• In cold weather try to keep your home reasonably warm, both day and night - about five degrees Centigrade. This will not cost much an may save you a lot of trouble in the end and reduce the likelihood of burst pipes.
• It is your responsibility to purchase your own home contents insurance covering your furnishings, carpets and personal belongings in case of a leak or burst pipe as this is not covered by Tenant Services.
