Be prepared this winter



We have all been enjoying some very unseasonable weather with sunny days throughout November and on into December. 
If you have the time and the inclination, why not get out into the garden and tidy up any faded flowers, trim ragged lawn edges and gather up the leaves. Tie in or support hedging if you think the snow will break the branches, clear away pots and containers and protect the roots of exposed or much loved plants, keeping them off the ground with pot stands. Clearing out all the accumulated debris from a windy autumn now will be time well spent come the spring.
It is also well worth taking a look at the front of your home. Clear out any clogged gutters before the arrival of torrential downpours. Sometimes downpipes may become clogged or even disconnected, causing rainwater to seep onto the walls, potentially causing a damp patch. It is also a good idea to check that your front path is neat and tidy.
Prepare for the forthcoming cold weather – if you own an empty property remember to either keep the heat on low or drain down the systems to prevent frost damage.
