Autumn is here and there’s no better time to check your boiler is working correctly:
- The pressure should be between 1 and 1.5
- Amend your thermostat, check the boiler fires up properly and radiators are warming up
Bleed your radiators
If your radiators are cold at the top when the heating is on, you may need to bleed them to make sure they work and heat up your home efficiently. If you’re having problems with your heating system, contact us for advice on 0800 031 8628.
Check your roof and gutters
Blocked outside drains and gutters can mean water, ice and snow can’t drain away from your roof. If your gutters need clearing, contact us on 0800 031 8628 and we can arrange for DIO’s maintenance contractors to attend.
Locate your stop tap
Do you know where your stop tap is? It’s the little tap or lever on pipes, often found under your sink. It’s important to check it works so you can turn the water off in an emergency until DIO’s maintenance contractors can attend. If you encounter an emergency, call 0800 031 8628.

Most sinks, baths, boilers and toilets have isolation valves that can be turned off in the event of a leak. Take the time to locate your isolation valves so you know how to turn the water off. If you encounter an emergency, please contact us on 0800 031 8628.
