Video: Winter-proofing your home

Making your home winter-proof could help avoid some real headaches come mid-January when the UK is under a thick carpet of snow.

A few simple steps could allow you to dodge unnecessary costs or damage, which is why we’ve got DIY expert Tommy Walsh on board for our latest WebTV show.

The former Ground Force builder is offering up his invaluable advice on the early warning signs to look out for and how to keep your home nice and cosy.

He’ll help you steer clear of any problems like heat escaping through cracks in doors and also offer some alternatives to super expensive loft insulation.

Joining him is Eddie Hooker, from Total Landlord Insurance, who has seen every type of insurance claim known to mankind.

The most common of these is water damage due to pipes freezing and the average cost is £3,000.

He has a bit of advice on what to do if you’re a landlord or tenant in that scenario.

Also taking part in our WebTV show is an expert from Dyno, who specialise in plumbing repair.

The show begins at 12pm Monday 10 December and can be viewed here, or on catch up a few hours later.
