Heating or plumbing

If the boiler is not working check the pressure on your boiler if there is a gauge. If the pressure is low then adding water to the boiler by opening the filling loop may get the boiler going again. Google how to do this for your make of boiler. It is usually (but not always) by opeining two black valves underneath. Please remember to close them again afterwards.

If the boiler is not giving you hot water or heating then log a breakdown with the office.
Please check your gas meter to make sure it has gas and is turned on.

PROBLEMS WITH MOULD AND CONDENSATION

Frequently lack of ventilation and adequate heating can cause black mould. Mould is a naturally occurring substance found everywhere and in homes is caused by excessive humidity in the air.

Keeping windows open to expel water, closing them when the water has gone, making sure you ventilate at night while sleeping, drying washing outside, using a cooker hood when cooking, all will help.
