As the temperatures dip, here's how to make your radiators more energy efficient.

🔥Move any objects obstructing your radiators, such as sofas and curtains, as radiators need space to heat your rooms.

🔥Clean your radiators by vacuuming away dust buildup and using a radiator duster. Dust that builds up between the fins of radiators reduces their efficiency.

🔥Don't forget to bleed your radiators, as trapped air also reduces their efficiency. If your radiators have cold spots, it's a sign they need bleeding.

It's Halloween and we know there will be many youngsters enjoying an evening of Trick or Treating 👻 but please do spare a thought for any elderly or vulnerable neighbours 🏠

A reminder that if houses do not display pumpkins 🎃or decorations inviting trick or treaters - please move on to those that do as not everyone feels comfortable answering the door to strangers - even cute ones dressed as dracula 🧛

Have a safe and happy Halloween from everyone at Safe Local Trades.

Energy saving tip .... You could save £10 a year on your energy bills by swapping out one bath a week with a 4-minute shower. You could also save 4000 litres of water 💦!

Don't leave your tap dripping - and don't leave water running 💦

A dripping tap (or an overactive toilet) can waste over 5,000 litres of water a year, while leaving your taps running whilst brushing your teeth or shaving wastes 6 litres of water every minute!

Imagine the scenario – you’ve got an old sofa to get rid of, carpet off cuts or a worn out mattress to dispose of and you are offered what seems like a great price to have it removed.

The chances are – it could really be a load of rubbish!

Millions of Britons could be leaving themselves open to fly-tipping scams by trusting professional-looking online adverts, cheap prices and promises of quick rubbish removal, instead of checking whether the person taking their waste away is legally registered, new research reveals.

Safe Local Trades is supporting Peterborough City Council in efforts to promote the Keep Britain Tidy fight fly tipping fortnight.

At SLT, we have vetted and licenced experts who can offer a professional waste disposal service https://www.safelocaltrades.com/PE/pe-central/waste-disposal-peterborough/pe1

Energy saving tip ... The roof accounts for about 25% of heat loss in a typical house. Loft insulation is a simple and effective way to reduce your heating bills. You can even do some types yourself and still use your loft for storage.

Even if you already have some insulation, your loft may need a top-up. Loft insulation is effective for at least 40 years, and it will pay for itself over and over again in that time.

Getting an SOS text message from someone who says they’re your child can stir a host of emotions.

But beware ... The 'Hi mum scam text is yet again doing the rounds.

The text impersonates your adult children and tells you to contact them on a number due to some sort of issue or emergency.

In one recent version, the fraudster says that they're 'very upset right now' and 'need' to talk, before providing a WhatsApp number to contact. From there, the scammer will eventually ask you for money.

This is designed to bring on a sense of urgency and panic. If you suspect this of being a scam then please act.

You can report scam texts to 7726.
