Winter proof your home

From rain to gales to snow, the winter weather can be extremely damaging to our homes if we fail to take the necessary precautions. Here are some top ways to protect your home and make it safer this winter…

Stair treads

As the festive period approaches, chances are your house will play host to a number of visitors, who could well have muddy and wet shoes. Wet floors are simply an accident waiting to happen, so prevent any trips, slips or falls by investing in some stair treads. Often made from carpet or rubber, these treads, when placed on your stairs, will make them less slippery and more secure for walking on. If you’re a landlord and your property features outside stairs, it might be worth getting a professional company like Lionweld Kennedy to install some industrial steel stair treads, to ensure your tenant’s safety this winter.

Fence

Almost everybody has had the stressful moment of watching your fence sway tenuously in the wind, as the winter weather gives it a beating. Ensure your peace of mind this winter by taking the opportunity this autumn to make sure your fence is secure and sturdy, and ready for anything the winter throws at it. Replacement panels and posts are considerably cheaper than replacing the entire fence, so taking these preventative measures could save you pounds in the future.

Roofs

It is all well and good putting off repairing your roof when the glorious summer was here. However, a loose or missing tile can have extremely detrimental effects to your home in the winter. Waterproof your house and protect your possessions from getting water damaged by carrying out the repairs now. Once the winter weather kicks in, you may find it difficult to find a professional who can carry out the work, especially if we are experiencing high winds. It is best to get it sorted now to avoid having various buckets catching leaks dotted around your home.

Taking these precautions now will benefit you massively in the months to come.
