Is your Teddington home ready for winter?

As the summer slowly comes to an end and the winter approaches, it's time to look at doing those repair jobs around the home and make sure you're going to be warm in the winter weather! 

There's usually plenty of home improvements going on in Teddington – as the photo shows a brand new roof going on in Teddington before winter.  There are several more building projects (with skips) that we've spotted throughout the town too!

Some people have told us that their heating has already been on in Teddington this month already – but people are also talking about the rising costs of being able to heat their homes.  

Of course you can switch suppliers to keep your bills down but this is not always effective in the long term.  It may be worth getting your boiler and heating system serviced and checked for efficiency first of all. If there's a build up of deposits in the boilers or the central heating system needs flushing then a service and a check could help lower your bills.  Check out Teddington's local heating suppliers in our directory.  If your boiler is very old or you're putting in a new central heating system, do check that any supplier you use is listed on the Gas Safe Register website.  It lists two pages of Teddington's accredited heating suppliers.

If don't need a new roof or a new boiler (lucky you!) but you've got smaller repairs that need doing and that you can do yourself we've got three friendly local shops that can help – Ash in Stanley Road, Chas Sirrell on Kingston Road andd Teddington Hardware which is reviewed here on Teddington People in the High Street.  

Where do you go in Teddington for your central heating service and which DIY shop do you use?  Let us know here on Teddington People - and - good luck with the jobs!
