L&G gives online advice to homeowners on how to avoid winter damage

To help homeowners avoid damage to their property, they have written an online guide entitled “Winter weather can seriously damage your home”. This provides a range of hints regarding insulation and security, plus tips to help avoid burst pipes.

Legal & General’s Head of Marketing, Andy Sampson, said, “Many of the claims we receive on our home insurance policies relate to damage caused during the winter months. Frozen pipes can cause extensive damage, and the darker evenings can also present a security risk. To help people minimise the risk of loss, our online winter advice guide provides a few simple steps that homeowners can take now which could save them much inconvenience and cost over the coming months”.
