We all look forward to summer, the time when we can enjoy our holiday homes in the beautiful Dordogne region of France. But like any house, a holiday home needs special attention in winter to get through the harsh winters safely and beautifully. Here’s how to winterise your holiday home in the Dordogne, and how Maisonsupport can help.

1. Insulation is essential

Good insulation is important to keep your holiday home warm and cosy during the cold months. It is important to carry out a thorough check of your home’s insulation before winter sets in. Professional insulation can save a lot of energy and money in the long run. Maisonsupport has a team of expert professionals in insulation services for holiday homes, and we will be happy to help you with this important task.

2. Roof inspection and repair

Winters in the Dordogne can be quite severe with rain, hail and even snow. That is why it is important that your roof is properly inspected. Maisonsupport can carry out smooth and professional roof maintenance and repair to prevent leaks or other damage.

It is vital to ensure that the heating in your holiday home is up to scratch. Check that the boiler is working, and don’t forget to vent the radiators. Having problems? Maisonsupport can help you troubleshoot, maintain and repair central heating boilers.
