Winter is a test season for every home. We want to know what breaks down most often for you — the survey results will shape our future guides.

A) Heating — the boiler cannot keep up, radiators are cold at the bottom B) Roof and gutters — ice dams, leaks after thawing C) Windows — drafts and frozen sashes D) Water system — frozen connections or drains E) Moisture and condensation — mould behind wardrobes and in corners
What we know from previous years
The most frequent reports are (in this order): roof, heating, windows. But your vote is more important than statistics — because you are writing about real-life breakdowns.
Bonus: pre-winter maintenance
Most winter breakdowns are accumulated minor issues from autumn: uncleaned gutters, air in the heating system, window seals. A maintenance check before the first frost (£60–£120) catches them all.
