Emergency Contacts
Property Maintenance (Winter Precautions)
Over the next few months we ask that you ensure that the heating in your property is sufficient to prevent the freezing or bursting of pipes. If you go away during the winter period, either leave sufficient heating on to prevent frost damage and thus burst pipes; or ensure (at your expense) that the central heating system is drained down by a professional plumber. Where heating is left on, please ensure that the stopcocks are turned off to prevent excessive water damage if a leak occurs.
Telephone Numbers
It is important in the event of an emergency that we are able to contact you. Would any tenants who change their mobile/work or home telephone numbers please let the office know what the new numbers are as quickly as possible.
