25 Sep 🍁🏡 Simple Tips to Keep Your Park Home Cosy This Autumn & Winter 🏡🍁

As the leaves turn golden and the evenings draw in at Warfield Park, it’s the perfect time to get your Park Home ready for the colder months ahead. A little autumn maintenance now can save you money, stress, and chilly surprises later on. Here are some easy steps to keep your home safe, warm, and snug this season:

1️⃣ Keep Gutters Clear

🍂 Falling leaves can clog gutters and cause leaks. Clear them regularly and think about fitting gutter guards to keep things flowing smoothly.

2️⃣ Give Your Roof & Exterior a Quick Check

🛠️ Look out for loose tiles, cracks, or wear on your cladding. Fixing small issues now can stop bigger problems when the weather gets wild.

3️⃣ Stop the Draughts

❄️ Seal up gaps around doors and windows with weather stripping or caulk. Thermal curtains add an extra cosy layer — but don’t forget to keep ventilation strips clear for healthy airflow.

4️⃣ Service Your Heating System

🔥 Book in a boiler or heating service before the cold snap. It’ll keep things running efficiently and prevent any unexpected breakdowns.

5️⃣ Sort Out Drainage

💧 Check that downpipes, French drains, and soakaways are clear of leaves and debris to protect your home from heavy autumn rains.

6️⃣ Don’t Forget Underfloor Vents

🌬️ Older park homes often have floor vents to reduce damp. Make sure they’re not blocked — ventilation is key to keeping your home mould-free.

7️⃣ Wrap Up Your Pipes

🥶 Insulate exposed pipes, especially underneath your home, to stop them freezing (and bursting!) when temperatures drop.

8️⃣ Check Your Skirting

🪵 Inspect the skirting around your home for gaps or damage. It keeps the cold out and deters unwanted pests — just remember to leave vents clear so air can still circulate.

9️⃣ Safety First

🚨 Test smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors, and check that fire blankets and extinguishers are up to date and easy to reach.

✨ Taking these simple steps now will help keep your Park Home cosy, efficient and safe right through autumn and winter 2025.

So grab a hot cuppa, tick off these checks, and settle in for the season knowing your home is ready to face whatever the weather brings. 🍵🍂
