- Fatigue
- Headaches

- Chest pains
- Dizziness
- Sickness, diarrhoea and stomach pains
-
What can I do to prevent plumbing problems?
- Identify where your 'Mains Cold Water Stop Tap' is and monthly give it a clockwise and a quarter turn back to stop it ceasing.
- Ensure your water pipes in your loft are insulated.
- Don't let small leaks develop into big problems i.e. patches on ceiling (could be a serious leak in roof) or overflows leaking (could cause damage to walls)
-
How can I protect my gutters from damage during cold weather?
Clean gutters regularly - blocked/dirty gutters can cause overflows which, if frozen, could result in them coming down with the weight.
-
What can I do to prevent electrical problems?
- Always make sure water and electrics don't come into contact with one another - keep spillable liquids away from plugs and electrical equipment.
- Switch unnecessary appliances off when away from your property for a period of time.
- Don't leave chargers on overnight - this can cause fires.
