Christmas and New Year is a magical time of year. But that doesn't mean things don't and won't go wrong. Hopefully, you'll manage to avoid any major disasters. But, just incase, here is a useful list of numbers that you might need this festive season.

* Central Heating Breakdown

With the cold weather currently gripping Bolton and the rest of the UK, any problem with your central heating will have even more of an impact on your household. Don't let it be a problem.

* Legal Services

Whilst most other services go to sleep during the festive period, the law is always active. If you find yourself in trouble at all, or require any legal help or advice, or maybe need to make a personal injury claim, don't wait until it is possibly too late.

* Security

Break-ins are a common occurence during the festive period due to a lot more value inside of most households. It's a sad fact, but it's true. There are always measures you can take before a break-in happens, or after, as well as providing security services for business premises when you're not there.

* Injury

Injury can occur for a number of reasons over the festive period. The increase in the amount of alcohol is obviously going to contribute to that, but accidents will happen due to ice and the freezing temperatures, and the increased strain of this time of year.

Should the worst happen over Christmas and the New Year, you'll want to turn to a funeral service that will make things as easy as possible. There is no easy time for death, but Bromleys are there to help always.

The roof of your house will likely take the brunt of this bad weather we're getting, often being pounded by rain, snow, hail and high winds. Should a leak occur, it's important that this is fixed as soon as possible.
