In light of the wind and rain brought by Storm Austen and Storm Boleo over the weekend, with further bad weather forecast across Scotland, what can tenement owners do to winter-proof their buildings?
⛈️ Have a professional survey done to assess your building's readiness.
⛈️ Organise repairs to loose chimney pots and other stonework.
⛈️ Organise annual gutter cleanings to help take away excess rainwater.
⛈️ Check that you and your fellow owners have adequate insurance that covers the cost of a rebuild, in case the worst should happen in a storm.
