Why Winterise Your Vehicle or Lodge?


  • Prevent Frost Damage: Draining water lines and adding antifreeze safeguards pipes, pumps, boilers, and appliances from freezing and bursting.

  • Avoid Damp and Mould: Proper ventilation checks and moisture control help reduce condensation and damp buildup during cold, damp months.

  • Maintain Safety & Warranty: Our winterisation follows manufacturer recommendations and industry safety standards to protect warranties and insurance compliance.

  • Extend Lifespan: Keeping your vehicle or lodge systems winter-ready helps maintain value, reduces wear and tear, and avoids expensive damage.

  • Complete drainage of fresh and waste water tanks and pipework

  • Flushing and antifreeze treatment for plumbing, boilers, taps, and heating systems
