Make The Most Of Fareham's Heating & Insulation Specialists This Winter

Who can you turn to in Fareham to make sure you’re cozy this

winter?

Well you could spend the whole time at someone else’s house

or down the pub – or in the arms of a loved one (I am such an old romantic) but

let’s assume you might occasionally want to stay at home and, let’s face it, when

it comes to a British winter, you want that home to be warm and comfortable.

If you’re a private, council or housing association tenant then

under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 you have to, by

law, hold a certificate to declare that all pipework, appliances and flues,

provided for your use, are in good working order.  There’s no better time than prior to its peak use to get your boiler checked out. 

As a tenant it is the legal and financial

responsibility of your landlord to provide that but there’s no harm in a gentle

nudge in the right direction.  As a

homeowner you’re only “strongly advised” to keep a check on these things but

gas and plumbing is really not worth mucking about with – which is why you

should regularly maintain it with a visit from a Gas Safe Registered engineer.

Fareham’s Diamond Maintenance comes highly recommended and

cover all aspects of maintenance, repair and plumbing.  J. Medlow is also Fareham-based and several

friends have mentioned receiving excellent service  

Did you know that in some cases you might qualify for a

grant to insulate your home?  It’s well worth

tracking down a good local insulation firm and seeing if you do.  We have some listed in the trade directory

section here including Fareham-based Excel Thermal.  If you have used one before, please tell

other readers your thoughts!

Fareham Borough Council also run a scheme you might qualify

for – read about it here.

If you’re the frugal DIY type why not have a go at laying it

yourself?  Wickes in Fareham supply roll

insulation as do B&Q. 

We wish you a warm and energy efficient winter!
