Good to Know
Winter prep is one of those tasks that never seems urgent until it's too late and you're dealing with a burst outside tap or collapsed fence in January. An afternoon of preparation in October saves a lot of hassle and expense later. For customers who want annual service, we can book you in each autumn for regular winter prep - many find this easier than trying to remember and arrange it themselves.
