Here are crucial steps to protect your property:
1. Secure Doors and Windows: Ensure all doors and windows are securely locked to prevent water and debris from entering your home.
2. Trim Trees and Shrubs: Prune overhanging branches and trim shrubbery to minimize the risk of falling limbs damaging your property during a storm.
3. Clear Gutters and Drains: Remove debris from gutters and drains to prevent water backup and potential flooding.
4. Reinforce the Roof: Inspect the roof for loose or missing shingles and make necessary repairs to prevent water leaks.
5. Invest in Storm Shutters: Consider installing storm shutters to protect windows from flying debris and high winds.
6. Secure Outdoor Items: Anchor or store outdoor furniture, wheelie bins, BBQs, and any other items that could become projectiles during a storm.
7. Backup Power: Consider investing in a generator to ensure power during an outage, keeping essential appliances running.
8. Buy a supply of candles just encase of a Power cut/Blackout

Our customer reviews
By chance we came across Sandie at Bruce Simpson, having always used “bigger” more well known companies before when needing to find tenants for our rental properties. Never again. The service far exceeded our expectations and went over and beyond, it was worth every penny of the more than reasonable fee payable. Sandie did everything Haybrooks did not. She achieved more in one week than they did in one month, keeping us posted in a kind and friendly way every step of the way. Bruce Simpson excels in providing a personal service, covering every aspect needed effortlessly. Thank you. 100% would recommend to landlords and tenants alike.
I have been working with Bruce & Simpson for nearly a year now. Great communication, fills rooms quickly and solves any problems that arise with tenants!
After feeling disgruntled by the treatment of the high street agent we were using to find new tenants and manage the properties, I was introduced to Sandie and was impressed by her passion and “thinking outside the box” attitude to marketing my properties. Nothing is too much trouble and any maintenance issues are dealt with straight away. Very happy
