Aspray, a national property insurance claims management and repair company has put together a brief guide for those who may be coping with the results of the treacherous weather.

Prevention is better than cure, so in very cold spells

• Turn up your heating a little and open all interior doors to allow the heat to circulate.
• Ensure you insulate vulnerable areas, eg pipes that have previously frozen, outside hose connections (remove hose), indoor pipes close to outside walls.  But don’t insulate under the water tank as the heat from the room below will help to prevent the water freezing.
• If a pipe does burst, immediately turn off the water to your home – find out where it is in advance. Every home has a main water shut off valve. Once you shut this off it will stop incoming water causing further damage.

But if the worst does happen, just call Aspray. We can liaise with your insurance company and loss adjuster on your behalf and undertake all repair work. Best of all there is no cost* to the insured property owner as we bill the insurance company direct.

You can even call us for free on 0800 077 6704
