Take action now to protect yourself against the extreme weather events of February and March 2018. The UK is experiencing a prolonged period of extreme weather, which has not been seen since 1982.
Here are measures that you can take to help prevent boilers and water pipes from freezing, and steps to take if you find yourself with a burst or frozen pipe.
Freezing temperatures can cause boiler condensate pipes (which are located outside of the property, behind the boiler) to freeze. This can prevent it from functioning.
If your boiler is flashing up an error message on its screen or making some unusual gurgling sounds (which normally you wouldn't hear), the likely culprit is a frozen condensate pipe.
A lot of boiler installations use small pipework for the condensate pipe, but larger pipes (25mm+ in diameter) make it harder for the ice to block the run. When your boiler is serviced ask the engineer to make these changes for you.
