Did your pipes freeze during the recent cold snap?
In the recent cold snap in the UK, many people might have faced their pipes freezing up, which stopped their boilers from working.
“According to the building regulations, the pipes that should be insulated are outside of the heated living area, including those that enter empty spaces. All main domestic hot water circulation lines. Every pipe leading to hot water storage containers and every secondary circulation pipeline.”BOXT recommends inspecting any water-using item, such as your dishwasher, heating system, or washing machine, which may be close to pipes.
Once you know how much lagging you'll need you can head to your local DIY store to pick up a few bits. BOXT adds:"Cutting the insulation tube to the correct length is very simple. For corners to fit snugly together you will want to cut the insulation tube at angles of 30° and 45°. You can use a mitre box to help guide you through cutting the correct angle in the insulation tube.
