Drainage becomes a problem in the winter with fluctuation of temperatures and extra rain fall, to prevent any drain issues, get your gutters and pipes cleaned out and insulated before winter sets in.

Servicing your boiler is always a good idea before winter sets in but as a landlord its very prudent to do so, ensuring your tenants won’t be without hot water or heating, and checking the state of your boiler is always smart so you can be prepared for any possible issues in the future.

Checking and maintaining your roof should also be done before winter sets in, to ensure any work that needs doing can be done, and also helping to prevent any damp, which becomes much more prevalent in the winter. Dealing with damp as a landlord is very important as it can produce mould which is extremely dangerous to have growing inside and can cause serious breathing problems.

If your property has a fireplace that’s in use you should definitely have it swept before you begin using it again. Not only is it a legal requirement in the UK but it’ll ensure you do not accidentally set a fire underneath a birds nest that was built during the warmer summer months, and ensure a safer fireplace to use, as no built up soot will be set alight.
