Winter energy bills in the UK can be absolutely brutal. The heating's on all day, it's dark by 4 PM, so the lights are constantly running, and somehow your energy meter is spinning faster than ever.

Most bad property maintenance experiences don’t stem from poor work; they stem from poor communication. In property maintenance, silence is dangerous. Projects go wrong not because technicians are incompetent, but because clients and contractors stop talking or never start properly.

I’ve seen homeowners lose hundreds to burst pipes, damp walls, or boilers that give up right when they’re most needed. At Preventor Building Services, winter is the season we prepare for all year. Here’s a simple, practical checklist that can help you protect your home, save money, and avoid emergency call-outs when the weather turns.
