Newsroom Special - Preparing your home for winter

5 minutes | Wednesday, 21 November 2018

Given that being stuck without hot water or heating would be the worst winter disaster for 63% of Brits, it’s surprising that only 30% have started preparing their homes for the cold.

So how can we avoid a winter disaster at home this year?

Joining us in the studio is Natalie Foster, a service and repair engineer from British Gas.
