Christmas Is Coming - Five Things to Get Booked If You Want Them Done in Time!
Make sure the Grinch doesn't visit this Christmas by being jolly well prepared with your festive tradie bookings. Nothing says “Merry Christmas” like an overflowing or leaking toilet right after the whole extended family has finished all that rich Christmas food, does it?
All Is Calm and Bright If You Have Your Christmas Maintenance Complete
ONE: Start your Christmas Day planning with the end in mind...literally. December is Murphy's time of year to shine, and yes, that leaking toilet can cause havoc if left unchecked. Worst-case scenarios include your toilet being out of action when you have a house full of visitors during the holidays, and zero chance of finding a tradie who isn’t too busy to fix it.
TWO: Leaking taps are going to disrupt the holiday peace with their obnoxious dripping all night. A leaking tap can be easily fixed, so get back on Santa's good list and book in a plumber to fix leaking toilets or taps ASAP.
THREE: I love the sound of a dishwasher on Christmas Day. If you hope for more than a massive pile of dirty preparation dishes to wash under the tree on Christmas Day, get your dishwasher installation booked in now. You are not the only one dreading spending Christmas afternoon doing dishes while everyone else lounges around in a food coma. Booking now means everyone gets to relax.
FOUR: Prefer air-conditioning to soggy pavlova for a festive dessert? Melting trifle and warm pavlova will kill the vibe on Christmas Day. Book your air conditioning service now. Tradies will not have time, and hot and bothered relatives do not make for pleasant party guests.
FIVE: Deck the halls with holly, not overflowing water. December is a great time to book a drain pipe health check. Plumbers can check your pipes for blockages and ensure that the only water feature on Christmas Day is the swimming pool. All those extra visitors can put excessive strain on the sewage system and cause a disaster if a pipe is already damaged or invaded by tree roots. Get ahead of the problem, and then the only smell people will comment on is the emu-sized turkey cooking in the Weber.
Before you dust off the Christmas tree box and defrost Mariah Carey, call your tradie and lay the foundation for a stress-free, merry Christmas.
