Winter Plumbing Checklist: Prepare Your Bishops Stortford Home for Cold Weather
As temperatures drop in Bishops Stortford, your plumbing system becomes vulnerable. Start by insulating exposed pipes in lofts, basements and outside walls with foam lagging. Drain and disconnect garden hoses, and know where your main water shut-off valve is located in case of emergencies.

Schedule a professional boiler service before winter hits. A Gas Safe engineer can check pressure levels, clear sludge buildup, and test carbon monoxide emissions. Set your thermostat to at least 12°C when away to prevent freezing. If going on holiday, consider draining your system.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

When our boiler broke in the middle of winter, KPS had an engineer out within two hours. They diagnosed and fixed the issue properly the first time – no temporary patches. We’ve used them for all our plumbing needs ever since!

As a property manager with multiple rentals, I rely on KPS for all gas safety checks and plumbing maintenance. Their online certificate portal and reminder service save me hours of admin work each year.

The team installed a new Worcester Bosch boiler and smart thermostat system in our Victorian terrace. Clean workmanship, clear explanations about the new system, and they even hoovered up afterwards! 5-star service.

Finding a plumber who understands our 1930s plumbing system was tough until we met KPS. They replaced all our lead pipes without destroying the period features. Now we have better water pressure and peace of mind.

KPS replumbed our entire restaurant kitchen during a weekend closure. They worked through the night to meet our Monday opening deadline. Not a single leak or problem. Highly Recommended!

The annual boiler service from KPS is brilliant. Their engineer didn’t just tick boxes – he explained how to improve efficiency, cleaned out sludge buildup, and even adjusted our thermostat settings to save energy. Our heating runs smoother, and our bills dropped!
