Only half of homeowners take precautions against weather damage
Bad weather caused more than £1bn of damage to British homes last year, with one in eight homeowners now suffering weather damage to their properties.
A survey by Lloyds TSB Insurance found that only half of homeowners take any precautions to protect their homes against bad weather.
Homeowners made almost £200m of claims for rain, snow and ice damage last December and January alone.
