Are you jetting off, leaving all your cares behind?

Here’s your FastFix Pre Holiday Safety Checklist:

• Turn off your water supply - A shut-off stop tap prevents leaks from running for days if a pipe or fitting fails.

• Check taps & toilets - Make sure nothing is dripping or continuously filling — these can escalate into major leaks when left unattended.

• Clear drains & gutters - Blocked drains can overflow during summer storms, a known risk when homes are left empty.

• Unplug appliances - Reduces fire risk and protects against electrical faults while you’re away.

• Secure windows & doors - UK police guidance stresses that locked windows/doors and hidden valuables reduce burglary risk.

• Ask someone to check in - A quick visit can catch leaks, damp patches, or electrical issues early - especially important because missed warning signs are a major cause of holiday time incidents.

• Use timers for lights - Makes your home look occupied, a proven deterrent for break ins.

Follow these handy tips and it's a lot less to worry about while you are away. You can sit back and relax.
