Integral’s ‘Fit for Winter’ checklist

1. Know what to do in a power cut

It's now simple to get in touch with your Electricity Distribution Network Operator - just dial 105. 

2. Secure external fixtures/assets

When high winds are forecast, remember that some everyday items in your property can become 'missiles'. Most winters we see pictures of airborne signage, furniture, Refrigeration/HVAC housing unit panels etc. When was the last time you had a maintenance check on your building signage, are your signage fixing and batons secure and free from any rot?

3. Check your roof

Before it gets windy it's also worth checking for loose tiles, slates and flashing and consider removing dead branches from old trees.

4. Clear your guttering

As leaves start to fall, there’s a risk that wind will blow leaves into your gutters and drainpipes will get filled up. If this builds up, the water will go back into the guttering and leak through the roof - potentially into your electrics - and could stop you trading.

5. Trim up

To avoid a build-up of leaves in the guttering, the best thing to do is to prune your trees before winter really kicks in. This can also help with avoiding snow building up on the trees, which with it brings the risk of damage from broken branches.

6. Don't leave yourself open to frozen and burst pipes

It's important to make sure water pipes and water tanks in the loft are insulated with good quality lagging. This will not only protect from freezing but it will help insulate your hot water system and save your money.

7. Check your flood risk

Check if your building is at risk of flooding, and sign up for free flood warnings at:

• England
• Ireland
• Scotland
• Wales

The Environment Agency, NI Direct, Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA), Natural Resources Wales (NRW) and local authorities share responsibility for providing advice and information to the public during flood emergencies and can be contacted 24 hours a day via a dedicated Floodline number.

Floodline (England, Scotland and Wales): 0345 988 1188

Northern Ireland flooding incident line: 0300 2000 100

8. Carparks & walkways

Do you have a plan to ensure your carparks are safe from icing & slipping hazard?

9. Lightning protection

Have you had your lightning protection checked?  Lightning protection systems are used to prevent or lessen lightning strike damage to buildings. They protect the internal electrical components of a building, helping to prevent fires or electrocution.
