Leydon Lettings pre-empt and prevent many disasters. Leydon Lettings in 2007 developed a unique system to reduce both the cause of leaks and the damage following a leak. Sounds obvious! In freezing January 2009 several enquiries were received from all colleges and many landlords desperately seeking alternative housing.
Burst pipes followed the freezing weather at exactly the time when students were absent and unable to report or minimise the damage. Many students had to be re-housed with exams looming!
Although Leydon Lettings did suffer two burst pipes the damage was contained and the flood water was diverted outside the property leaving you high and very dry!
Our tenants were unaffected and not inconvenienced at all.
Further, our bills package encouraged our tenants to leave the heating on over the winter vacation suficient to prevent freezing. Our lofts also have well lagged pipes - just in case.
