While summer 2026 might have one final heatwave for us, it’s still a good time to start looking ahead and planning for colder weather. People in the UK typically start thinking about turning the heating on in mid to late October. Before that, it’s a really wise idea to make sure everything is in order. If you need help with things like fire alarm installations in Middlesbrough and fire risk assessments, you can rely on us.
What to do?
It’s likely you haven’t used the heating since March. Therefore, gas fires, log burners, and other appliances have probably been sitting for a while. It’s a really good idea to check them before you need them. This gives you the chance to see if there are any potential issues. You may even need professional help like chimney sweeping.
One of the most important things to do is ensure gas appliances are serviced if they need it. This includes fires and boilers. It ensures a professional engineer gives them a check to make sure there are no faults that could cause problems like fires or leaks.
