Please take care everyone x
Protect a Property in a Storm
It's important that your client knows their property must be maintained properly.
📌They should pay particular attention to areas likely to bear the brunt of a storm, such as the roof and gutters.
📌Get rid of overhanging, loose or dead branches on the property to help prevent damage in windy weather and secure loose objects that are kept outdoors.
📌Close all gates, windows and doors (including internal doors) and stay indoors as much as possible during the storm.
📌Move bins ( and any garden furniture ) into a sheltered area to avoid damage, and weigh down if possible.
Protect a Property in a Flood-
📌If your client lives in an area prone to flooding, we recommend they purchase sandbags to place on doors, windows and any other gaps.
📌Move any electrical equipment and sentimental items upstairs to prevent damage.
📌Advise your clients to identify how to turn off their gas, water and electricity in case they need to leave their home during a flood.
