The most common Winter household disasters
Almost 90 per cent of build-
ers have been called out to fix
leaking roofs, nearly half have
been asked to fix burst pipes and
a third have been asked to repair
a broken boiler during the winter
months).
The most common issues build-
ers have been asked to deal with in
and around Winter are as follows:
1) 86% of builders have dealt
with leaking roofs;
2) 74% of builders have fixed
leaks from defective lead flashings
and apron to chimney stack;
3) 51% of builders have re-
paired damage caused to the
property because of blocked
gutters;
4) 47% of builders have dealt
with leaking windows;
5) 44% of builders have dealt
with burst pipes;
6) 37% of builders have dealt
with leaking doors;
7) 33% of builders have ar-
ranged for a broken boiler to be
fixed;
8) 29% of builders have fixed
damage caused to the property by
falling branches from trees;
9) 24% of builders have ar-
ranged for electrical wiring to be
fixed.
Commenting on the research,
Brian Berry, Chief Executive of
the FMB, said: “The festive period
is a busy time for builders. They
are regularly called out to fix
leaks, burst pipes and broken
boilers over the winter period,
with leaking roofs topping the
list. Almost 90 per cent of firms
have been called to fix leaky roofs,
nearly half have been asked to fix
burst pipes and a third have had
to repair a broken boiler. Winter
is a costly time of year and the
last thing homeowners want to
spend their money on is emergen-
cy home improvement work. To
prevent these issues from occur-
ring homeowners should carry out
a simple programme of mainte-
nance. Boilers should be serviced
and checked in advance of winter
to avoid any breakdowns”
