Gilletts Callington Limited

In the spring for just a few weeks, the Cornish early new potatoes are dug up and ready to eat. ‘Cornish earlies’ are small, soft skinned potatoes with a very special flavour; they are highly valued and delicious served with Cornish butter. The taste is rich and sweet, as most of the natural sugar has yet to turn to starch.

two seasonal cook books to inspire your veg box cooking

RRP * £33.98

with a weekly organic vegbox delivered free to your door

Unlike other new potatoes you see on the supermarket shelves which are washed before being packed, Cornish earlies are sold with a bit of soil still on them; washing removes some of the skin and this should be done just before cooking or they will not keep.

Pengelly’s “Setting the standard” in Local Fishing Industry Most of our fish is line-caught in small numbers, and our netcaught fish are captured using small, non-destructive, netting techniques. This not only means that the fish is of the highest standard, and doesn’t spend hours getting crushed in cramped netting, but that the Cornish stocks are never over-depleted allowing new generations of fish and shellfish to maintain the numbers and health of south-west fisheries.

ENTERTAINMENT

Jackie and Angie are professional, life-long fishmongers, who sell the finest fish to the highest standards for your enjoyment.

Most of the fish available in the UK has quite a journey before it reaches your frying pan. Not so with Pengelly’s. Angie and Jackie source their fish direct from the quayside, next door to the shop. They pick the best quality fish from the most highly regarded stocks in the UK, fillet and prepare them perfectly to your needs, giving you the piece of mind that you’re not only enjoying the best fish and shellfish available in the UK, but that you’re supporting the local fishing industry and the Cornish fish stocks at the same time.

KODO “Dynamic, electrifying vision… nothing will prepare you for the precise timing or the wall of sound. An essential experience…”

(Time Out)

The last time they visited Plymouth, Plymouth Herald said “The KODO drum troupe whisked us away….. KODO drummers are so incredibly inventive... the strictest discipline and years of practice must be the key to their incredible precision….. it brought the audience to it’s feet for a much-deserved standing ovation. A visual treat as well as an aural one, the group once again held the very appreciative Plymouth audience completely spellbound for the duration of another stunning show.”

Amidst reverberations like rumbles in the earth large serpents coil, demons and lions move wildly. They surface from the gloomy dark, eerie at times, and in some respects, even nostalgic… This work fuses Kodo’s real worth, the dynamism of taiko expression, with the wondrous beauty and true charm that lie within rituals expressing the worship of myriad gods and reverence for nature that have been traditions in Japan since ancient times.

This performance takes you on a voyage to the extraordinary, to a mysterious realm that lies in the beyond…

The phenomenal Japanese taiko drumming company KODO will return to the UK in February 2016 – its 35th anniversary - with the thrilling new production ‘MYSTERY’, designed to reflect the beauty

and mystery of Japanese traditions throughout the ages.

Featuring 15 of Kodo’s highly trained Taiko (Japanese percussion instruments) performers, ‘MYSTERY’ is the second touring work to be directed by the company’s Artistic Director, the celebrated Kabuki actor Tamasaburo Bando.

Hailing from the remote Sado Island, Kodo is the first and most influential Taiko ensemble in the world, comprising a troupe of musicians and dancers who transform centuries-old traditional Japanese ritual and performing arts into exhilarating, contemporary stage shows.

“With this new show ‘Mystery’, my aim is to create just that: a world of mystery. In the folk arts that have been handed down through the generations in Japan, there’s a form of sacredness, an air of mystery within prayers which, in our show, is expressed by the drums. Our aim is to touch audiences as well as entertain them so they can feel that same, incredible air of mystery.

I’m hoping that audiences who come to see our show in February will experience a similar sort of other-worldly splendor, a spirituality that you sense in a Japanese temple or shrine.” says Tamasaburo Bando.

KODO is a professional Taiko drumming troupe that made its professional concert debut in Berlin in 1981. Since then Kodo has smashed box office records all over the world; performed over 5,600 shows in 47 countries on five continents; built up a huge international following and gained celebrity fans from maestro percussionist Dame Evelyn Glennie, to world famous choreographer Akram Khan; from trip hop band Badmarsh & Shri to the producers of ‘Stomp’.

This multi-award winning company is based on Sado Island, Japan. The word ‘Kodo’ has two meanings: ‘heartbeat’, the primal source of all rhythm and ‘children of the drum’. Although Taiko are the primary instrument in their performances, other traditional Japanese musical instruments such as fue (flute) and hand-cymbal make an appearance on stage along with dance and vocal performance. Kodo’s repertoire includes pieces based on the traditional rhythms of regional Japan, pieces composed for the company by contemporary songwriters, and pieces written by company members.

Rigorous training and athletic ability is essential; some of the drums weigh hundreds of pounds.

Jools Holland Raises Roof Last year’s festivities came early at the Plymouth Pavillions as Jools Holland and his Rhythm & Blues Orchestra took to the stage and completely stole it!

Friday 12th December 2015 surely was a night to remember for anyone lucky enough to witness “A Class Act” from start to finish.

The Orchestra consisted of five Saxophonists three Trumpet players, three Trombonists and Mr Hollands friend and legendary drummer Gilson Lavis, who in his own right stole part of the show with an amazing drum solo, that lifted everyone (including awkward me) from their seats!

The supporting act was Adam Double who, with just an acoustic Guitar and a powerful young voice sang a collection of his own work beautifully. One to look out for I feel.

Throughout the evening Jools took us on a journey through his band, offering an array of popular and unique Soul, Jazz, Rhythm & Blues originating from a pair of hands on a Grand Piano that simply “Boggled the mind”!!

Accompanied by various artists including Mabel Ray, Louise Marshall, KT Tunstall with a great performance of her hit “Suddenly I see” and of course the Boogie Woogie Queen herself Ruby Turner the songs just kept coming and the audience became more and more ecstatic as the evening came to a close.

Well done yet again Mr Holland and all who entertained us.

After your previous preformance at the Looe Music Festival in September and now this, you’ve really spoilt us down here with “Good Music” and real talent.Please return soon.

May I also say that the Pavillions Staff and facilities were as ever very organised and made my wife & myself feel very comfortable throughout the evening, including very professional security, which lets face it we all should appreciate!

2TONIC are without doubt THE most unusual and unique duo operating in SE Cornwall and the surrounding areas and with over 30,000 views on YouTube they have definitely made their presence known, not just in South East Cornwall but also across the globe.

Simply put, they look odd, - one stands and plays a 2 foot curved twig with a string on it, whilst the other plays drums and guitar at the same time! Yet the sound they produce is full and rich with many subtleties too. At times you could close your eyes and imagine there is a four piece band on the stage.

Formed in 2007 for a one off gig as a Medicine Head tribute act (hence the name – Med. Head were predominately a two man band) 2TONIC have improved year on year and have a steady stream of bookings as a result and over 500 gigs experience, averaging 60+ a year! 2TONIC are Mark Richardson on Vocals, Mouthbow, Jews Harp and Harmonica and Andy Boddington on Bass Drum, HiHat, Guitar and Backing Vocals. Either crammed into a corner of a Cornish pub, on a grand festival stage or on a stage at a top venue in London 2TONIC always rise to the occasion and have gained many favourable reviews as a result. Mark and Andy actively encourage audience participation and provide an array of percussion instruments for any willing audient to join in!

So what makes it so unique? “That would have to be the sounds created by the Mouthbow and Jews Harp and the phenomenal talent of Mark Richardson playing them!” says Andy, who deftly plays drums with his feet and provides a very passionate display of guitar playing too.

2TONIC play a mixture of covers from the 70’s to epic self penned instrumentals reminiscent of dance music at times and others of film soundtracks. Find them on YouTube, Facebook and iTunes etc searching all one word and all upper case: 2TONIC. For gig info please check the facebook page at www.facebook.com/2TONIC.DUO

James Shead is a name that is already well established on the local music scene in Cornwall. In fact, it’s a name that is building an incredible following around the rest of the UK. Having seen James perform live over the years and followed his music, we decided to shed some light on this unique singer-songwriter’s journey, from humble beginnings to now.

James is a singer/songwriter based in South West England. His music is an exciting combination of acoustic driven folk-rock & roll, delicate heart felt music with a powerful gravel voice which delivers lyrics of intimacy based on memories & experiences of his own and people around him. James released his debut album “A light for the fires” in June 2015 at a sold out launch gig, followed up by a string of festival dates and headline shows in London. The album follows two iTunes-charting EPs which established him as one of the best new singer-songwriters in the South West. Now, ‘A Light For The Fires’ will propel him to national recognition.

Although he shares musical DNA with some of the current crop of singer-songwriters, what sets James apart from the crowd is a knack for soaring choruses and a rich, powerful voice that can alternate between a cathartic holler and a soothing whisper. The album is a collection of songs depicting love, loss, memories and stories, most of which are penned from James’ own experiences as well as friends and loved ones around him. The opening track is a haunting reflection to brave fishermen, RNLI servicemen and other people who serve on the sea. James has always stated that the part of Cornwall

that he calls home is a big inspiration for him. As well as a musician he is also a keen surfer, so a love and respect for the sea was destined to have a heavy influence on his writing. The lead single from the album “Own Way Home” is a heart felt and moving story of relationships, penned with moving lyrics. The video for the single was shot during an evening in central London. A simple but incredibly affective narrative, shot amongst the beautiful evening light the capital affords. Its these incredibly open and honest songs, that means his album instantly draws you in and lets your imagination re-create the situations he is singing about.

CTND

After making the move from drums & percussion and playing for a few years as a solo artist, James has made a name for himself locally and further afield as a compelling live performer and passionate songwriter with repeated radio support from BBC Introducing and a string of sold out shows and festival performances around Cornwall and London. Following the release of his debut album, he gained more media plaudits and new fans as his fiery brand of country-infused folk-rock reached new ears around the UK. So, 2016 is a busy and exciting year ahead for James. He is currently booking dates around Cornwall and the UK with his band as well as solo gigs, from festival dates to more headline shows in London. Plans also include some lengthy stints in the studio, to get his large repertoire of un-recorded music out to fans in and outside of Cornwall. Be sure to get some of his dates in your diary, as a captivating and moving performance is guaranteed.

It is a common misconception that us osteopaths only treat the spine. Like physiotherapists, we can help with mechanical pain in any part of your body. Many people have aches and pains from computer work, gardening, or just feeling like you’re ‘getting old’ but why suffer when many of these can be resolved with osteopathic treatment?

HEALTHYSPRING Shore up your fitness routine and get your body in gear with these stay on track solutions While we may take out expensive gym memberships and splash the cash on new workout gear in a bid to feel healthier and slimmer, sticking to an exercise regime for the long haul is another thing altogether. No matter how serious we are about achieving our goals, or how good our intentions, our get-fit resolutions can often slip off our to-do lists.

Need some motivation to recharge your get-up-and-go? Health and wellness coach Joanne Henson dedicates her book to doing just that. What’s Your Excuse For Not Getting Fit? (£4.99, amazon.co.uk) provides easy to follow advice and smart tips to stick with exercise long enough to see some pretty awesome results. ‘I wrote the book to help people take a fresh look at their own self-sabotaging behaviours and limiting beliefs, and to motivate them to change their mindsets, and move forward,’ she explains. Here she shares the most common excuses and her simple solutions to stay on track.

Osteopaths are body mechanics. Through treatment we promote the smooth functioning of all joints and soft tissues. We don’t just treat the painful area, we treat the body as a whole and provide advice on how you can keep your body ‘mechanically’ well.

Pregnant women – Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction, coccyx, pelvic and low back pain.

At Fore Street Osteopaths, we treat a wide range of medical conditions and injuries from work, recreation & sports related activities. People of all ages and backgrounds can be treated, including:

In addition, common conditions treated include arthritis, frozen shoulder, repetitive strain, muscle tension and headaches, joint pain, posture problems, back, neck and shoulder pain, sciatica.

The elderly – arthritic pain and general joint stiffness.

At Fore Street Osteopaths, treatment is always tailored to the individual and advice on posture and exercise is often given, to aid recovery and prevent symptoms recurring.

Children – growing pains, minor sports injuries, postural checks

Treatments

• Cnd Nail Extentions • Shellac Nail & Toes • Nail Art (All Freehand Work) • Minx Foils • St Tropez Spray Tanning • Waxing • Treading • Highpowered Verticle Sun Bed • Hi Hd Brow • Wedding Makeup • Mac Make-Up • Wedding/Proms Packages • Botox • Fillers • Chemical Peels • Laser Hair Removal Treatments • Childrens Nail Painting

Excuse 1: I don’t have time to exercise

Workouts don’t necessarily have to be lengthy or laborious if you’re looking to lose weight or get healthier. A short, sharp sweat session will see you bid farewell to hundreds of calories while targeting a whole range of different muscle groups.

‘Three to four times per week is ideal – this still leaves another three to four days a week when you don’t have to exercise. High-intensity interval training sessions could be as short as 10 minutes, and the best way to ensure that it gets done is to prioritise and diarise. And if you think you don’t have time, try keeping a log of how you spend your time and re-evaluate what’s important,’ says Joanne.

Excuse 2: I live too far away from the gym

Brrrr! When it’s freezing cold and chucking it down outside you’d probably prefer a date with your duvet over dragging yourself all the way to the gym – especially if it involves an epic commute. We get it. Even those of us with the loftiest intentions can falter when inconvenience thwarts our fitness plans. ‘There’s no point in joining a flash new gym if it’s a 15-minute drive away, which you might not fancy after a long day at work. Much better to join the more basic gym at the end of your road.

Then you’ve only got to find time for the workout, not the workout and a journey,’ says Joanne. Gym still not near enough? Try out a range of fitness DVDs and apps that fit easily into your lifestyle

Excuse 3: I’ve lost my fitness mojo

Having a dip in motivation every so often is normal and if that means you miss a few sessions, so be it – but don’t let that derail your efforts to get back on track.

‘If you do skip a few workouts, remember that the longer you leave it the harder it’s going to feel when you go back. And consider how far you’ve already come – do you really want to waste the effort you’ve already put in? Capitalise on the progress you’ve made so far and stick with it,’ advises Joanne.

Excuse 4: I find exercise boring

Exercise doesn’t have to be difficult and unpleasant. Ease yourself into it and up the ante when you’re ready. ‘Find something you enjoy. This is an obvious one, but so many people treat exercise as a form of punishment, as something to be endured not enjoyed. But there are dozens of different forms of exercise which you might find more fun, from dancing to rock climbing,’ says Joanne. And, if you get bored of your routine, switch things up a notch by trying new classes, working out different body parts and varying the intensity of your workout.

Excuse 5: I’m not seeing results

Let’s be realistic; you won’t see results overnight, but the more dedicated you become, the faster you’ll see improvements in your overall fitness and your figure.

‘Be patient, give it some time, and remember that exercise has long-term, ongoing health benefits beyond body shape,’ says Joanne. Try keeping a workout journal so you can chart your progress, writing down small achievements after every session, whether it’s going for two minutes longer on the treadmill or reaching a press-up PB. 2 2 Y O U R S O U T H E A S T C O R N WA L L

ornish Celebrants offer bespoke ceremonies for all occasions – whether it’s a wedding, vow renewal, naming ceremony, special birthday, anniversary or a celebration of life. They are also developing new celebrations such as a “circle of friendship”, commitment ceremony, a “positively single” for those who want to look forward to a new beginning, a betrothal ceremony, and a celebration of family life. They are always happy to help you celebrate any occasion.

To celebrate a wedding Cornish Celebrants favour the continental approach: attendance at the Register Office to do ‘the legal bit’, followed by the celebratory ceremony either later the same day or a few days afterwards. Separating the legal marriage from the celebratory wedding ceremony allows the couple to enjoy the bespoke celebration with family and friends, wherever and whenever they choose. Denise and Nicola are also able to give advice about any legal requirements, if needed, with their knowledge of Registration.

It’s so easy to get caught up in organising the venue, flowers and colour schemes, and letting the significance of the vows that the couple will be making to each other slip into the background. Cornish Celebrants can offer a unique ceremony which will ensure that the couple’s commitment to each other will take centre stage. Nicola and Denise like to meet each couple to discuss their thoughts and ideas. This helps to develop the unique, personalised and bespoke ceremony script, which can include ‘their story’ - how the couple met and their life together. Traditional aspects of the wedding ceremony can be included such as the giving away of the bride, an exchange of vows, giving of rings and readings. There is an opportunity to add a hand fasting ritual, lighting of a unity candle, religious prose, or anything else that the couple would like to enhance their celebration.

Nicola and Denise say “It’s a joy to us to be able to work with a couple to add everything they want into their ceremony, to make it a truly unique and memorable occasion”.

The Copy Workshop Are you considering providing home-help and domestic services to your local community? Have you ever thought about investing in a franchise?

If you’re interested in offering home-help and domestic services in your local area but don’t know where to start, why not look into franchising? Buying a franchise means that all the hard work involved in establishing your brand and business model has been done for you, giving you a much higher chance of success.

Owning a franchise means you truly have the best of both worlds; you receive all the training, backing and ongoing support you would receive as an employee but you become your own boss, and with that comes the flexibility to choose your working hours and dictate your own work / life balance, giving you more quality time to spend with your family and friends.

What is Extra Help?

Extra Help is a home-help and domestic services franchise network. Our original objective was to respond to the needs of elderly people living independently who required help with everyday tasks, such as shopping and meal preparation. Although helping the elderly remains our passion, our services have since expanded to include new and working parents, time-poor professionals and just about anyone who needs assistance. Having set up our own, successful branch in Plymouth, we franchised our business and now have franchises running across the country.

Extra Help is a management franchise so a franchisee’s job is not to be a homehelper; he or she is responsible for finding clients and recruiting responsible, caring and honest home-helpers to meet their requirements.

Natalie Copper of Hertfordshire is the Extra Help franchisee for Stevenage and says, “I came across Extra Help and immediately knew it was ‘the one’. The ethos of the business immediately clicked with me. My business took off so quickly that, as soon as I got back from training, I had clients and was in full swing right from the start! I love that each day is different and my hours are flexible, so I can work round my family life.

The Extra Help team is fantastic, down-to-earth, friendly and approachable – I couldn’t speak more highly of them.”

With over £4million to raise each year to maintain our vital service to the local community we’re extremely grateful to all of our supporters, fundraisers, volunteers and employees who help us to keep providing free end of life care to those who need us most from across Plymouth, South West Devon and East Cornwall.

Could you be our next franchisee?

■

The difference of a few miles per hour can mean the difference between life and death. The faster someone is driving, the less time they have to stop if something unexpected happens. If you kill someone while speeding, you will have to live with the longterm emotional consequences. Speed limits are there for a reason.

Driving in the winter is very different than in other times of the year.

Adverse weather and longer periods of darkness (especially after the clocks go back at the end of October) makes driving more hazardous.

Sometimes conditions can be extreme, as we have found out over recent winters, with prolonged periods of heavy snow and floods.

This means that we need to adapt the way we drive.

Different weather conditions create different hazards throughout the Winter and in different areas of the country at different times. A single journey may take us into very different weather, road and traffic conditions, so we need to be prepared for each one.

The following tips may help you cope better with the various seasonal weather hazards.

However, as we all know, many of these conditions can occur at any time of year.

• Prepare your vehicle • Prepare your journey • Prepare yourself • Driving in snow or ice • Rain • Fog • Strong Winds • Low Sunshine Prepare your vehicle It’s a good idea to have your vehicle fully serviced before winter starts and have the anti-freeze tested. If you can’t have it serviced, then do your own checks. In particular, check:

• Tyre condition, tread depth and pressure (of all the tyres, including the spare) • Brakes are working well • Fluids are kept topped up, especially windscreen wash (to the correct concentration to prevent it freezing), anti-freeze and oil It’s also a good idea to stock up on de-icer, windscreen wash, oil and anti-freeze at the start of Winter.

would you stay warm? What would you eat and drink?

If you must drive in these conditions, we recommend that you carry: • • • • • •

Tow rope A shovel Wellington boots A hazard warning triangle De-icing equipment First aid kit (in good order) A working torch A car blanket Warm clothes Emergency Rations (inc hot drink in a flask – nonalcoholic, of course) Mobile Phone (fully charged)

• • • •

Emergency Kit When extreme weather is • Lights are clean and possible, keep an emergency working kit in your car, especially if you’re going on a long • Battery is fully charged • • Windscreen, wiper blades journey. If this seems unnecessary, take a moment and other windows are to imagine yourself stranded clean and the washer in your car overnight, due to bottle filled with screen a snow storm or floods.

Alison and her husband Karl moved to Devon from Hertfordshire with their rescue sight-hounds and rescue cats in 2014. Here they aimed to achieve a more relaxed lifestyle and to provide a secure paddock for their girls to run in everyday.

After many years in customer facing roles, they felt the time was right for a change and haven’t looked back. I have always loved animals and I’ve been surrounded by pets from being a child. I have a passion for dogs and after Karl and I started volunteering for Greyhound Rescue West of England, our love of sight-hounds grew. We have fostered for GRWE and Lurcher SOS but as we now have 12 dogs, as you may well guess, we haven’t always let them go!

When I heard about the Holidays 4 Dogs franchise opportunity I knew that was just the business I had been looking for. Holidays 4 Dogs was established in 2006 and offers a range of fabulous, local, hand-picked carers, all of whom are experienced dog lovers. My aim is to offer you a choice of the the closest and most suitable carer available to you and your dog. You are then invited to visit the carer first so everyone can meet and most importantly, your dog can have a good sniff around and know that you are relaxed and happy in the environment too.

Your dog will become part of the family and as the only guest dog (or dogs) staying, they will enjoy a home that is matched to their needs to ensure they are as happy there as they are at home.o when you drop your much loved pet off for their stay, they will have a smooth transition from home to holiday!

Please do not hesitate to contact me and I look forward to speaking to you soon!

THE LABRADOR RESCUE TRUST

It will become law In England on April 6th 2016 for all dogs to be microchipped. While a traditional collar and tag are required by law and can be helpful, it is very easy for them to be removed or lost.

The Trust is an organisation in England that has been helping Labradors in need since 1988. We cover the South West of England consisting of Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, Dorset, Wiltshire, Gloucestershire, parts of the Forest of Dean near Chepstow, Herefordshire, Bristol and Bath as well as the adjoining parts of Berkshire, Hampshire, Oxfordshire and Rutland.

Everyone concerned with The Trust is a volunteer, between us there is a wealth of experience of the Labrador breed.

We love our dogs and love to share all the news, stories, events and information we can about the breed. If you’ve got something to share, just get in contact with us.

There is a much better chance of being reunited with your dog if he goes missing if he is fitted with a microchip.

A microchip is a very small rice grain size chip that is injected just under the skin by a vet or trained implanter. It has a unique number that is linked to the dog`s owner. The details are registered on a database, the largest of which is the Kennel Club Pet Log service.

When a pet is found it can be scanned by an organisation or vet and the owner can be contacted. It is important to update the database of any detail changes.

The microchip can also be useful to help prove ownership should there be a dispute.

Hay or haylage - which is best for your horse?

Should owners choose hay or haylage? Which is best for their horse or pony? There are so many myths surrounding both, probably more so with hay but that is only because hay has traditionally been around for much longer than haylage!

The main principle for conserving forage (usually grass) for future feeding to horses is to reduce moisture content and/or oxygen to stop the natural decay that normally begins following mowing in the field.

When making hay the water content of the hay crop must be reduced from 65-85% to 20% or less over three to five days. This is achieved by sun drying in the field or air/heat drying in a barn for barn dried hay.

Haylage on the other hand, is wilted to a water content of 45-50%, before being wrapped to enable “pickling” of the crop in an oxygen free environment, this is known as ensiling. Haylage therefore does not need as much drying time. When haylage was first made for horses, it was cut earlier in the year when grass is lush, higher in protein and energy and lower in fibre, perhaps too much for most horses and ponies! Nowadays though haylage for horses tends to be cut later as the end product is more suitable.

HOMEIMPROVEMENTS Are you covered for storm damage?

As our climate continues to change , more and more homes suffer from various types of Storm damage.

You’ll be thankful then you can claim on your home insurance to cover the cost of any damage. But can you be sure it will pay out?

Buildings insurance policies, for example, will cover any financial loss caused by storm damage, but problems can arise if you and your insurer have differing views on what actually constitutes a ‘storm’.

Then there can be issues around whether the damage to your building was, ‘caused by a storm or whether any damage caused during a storm was predominantly caused by that storm.’ Confused? Read on…

When is a storm not a storm?

Although your buildings policy will cover you for ‘storm damage’, there’s a good chance it won’t come with a definition as to what exactly constitutes a storm. So you’ll have to assume that a storm will generally involve high winds and a mixture of rain, hail or snow. Or all three if you’re really unlucky.

And then there’s the issue that storm damage can be caused to your property by other extremes of bad weather but without any particularly high winds.

To define exactly what a ‘high wind’ is, insurers will often look towards the Beaufort Scale, which categorises wind speed on a scale of zero to 12, and only winds above a certain point on this scale will be classified as ‘storm force’ and severe enough to do damage to a property.

And none of this is any good if your house has been damaged in a storm but the wind speed means it doesn’t quite make the cut! So check the terms of your policy and check the Ts and Cs. If the guidelines around storm damage are unclear, get in touch with your insurer to see where you stand.

When is a storm not a storm?

The condition of your property can also play a part in whether or not your claim for storm damage is successful. For example, if any part of your property was deemed to be in a poor state of repair before the storm hit, there’s a good chance your claim won’t be upheld.

Most policies will stipulate the building must be in ‘good shape’ and some may even exclude damage caused by wear and tear or gradual deterioration, which may be listed as ‘gradually operating causes’.

Roof tiles are a notoriously grey area and if it is deemed they would have been displaced regardless of whether or not a storm hit, your claim won’t be upheld.

If a roof tile blows off your house and hits

your car, this won’t be covered under a home insurance policy and a claim will have to be lodged with your car insurance company. Similarly, if a tile blows of and hit someone else’s car, they’ll have to claim on their car insurance and the matter is out of your hands – though irate car owners can take a bit of persuading.

Even if a tree blows down during a storm and hits your house, something which seems commonplace during storms in the UK, you may not be covered for this so check the terms of your policy.

If a tree has been blown down during a storm but has caused no other damage to your property you may find the cost of removing the tree is not covered.You may even find that you can’t make a claim if a falling tree has demolished part of your house so, once again, check your policy and if you’re not covered it may be worth adding some limited cover for an additional premium.

Other problems can occur if there is damaged cause by large volumes of snow – if the offending snow fall occurred during a storm then it’ll most likely be classed as storm damage. If, however, it gradually builds up during a number of flurries, it probably won’t be.

But what can you do if you’re unhappy with the decision your insurer has reached regarding your claim for storm damage?

This however is only part of the story, as M.D. Bridget Rosen explains, “All of our fitters are employed and have worked for us for years. They have all recently been awarded NVQ 3 qualifications following new laws requiring all fitters to be recognised as competent in their trades.

Most companies settled for the basic NVQ2 qualification but as our fitters had already passed this some years ago we

decided to upgrade them all to NVQ 3 the higher level” Duchy Ltd is well known locally for it’s work but what is less well known is the size and quality of the showroom at their Callington premises. Recent upgrades has increased showroom space to some 3000 sq ft with Conservatories, Doors and windows all on display.

Even more impressive is the new wall of colours displaying some 20 colours and foil finishes now available for windows and doors, plus Composite doors now available in an almost limitless range of colours to brighten up your home. MD.

Bridget Rosen commented” most people don’t realise that windows can come in a range of colours and foil finishes. Since we started displaying the choices in the showroom sales of colours have tripled!”

So if you would like windows, doors or a conservatory in White or any one of 20 colours or foil finishes pop along to Duchy Ltd and take a good look.

The showroom is open weekdays only between 7.30am and 4.30pm but closes early on a Friday at 2pm.

It’s well worth a visit.

Sealing and Hardware Solutions Ltd, established in 2001, trades with a world-wide supplier and customer base. Initially focused on the sealing systems for window and doors our product range has grown over the years and we are now excited to announce our latest addition FLOODGUARD. FLOODGUARD is a unique flood protection system designed to fit into all kinds of building structures as a temporary barrier for use in openings such as doors and windows. Floodguard is a made to measure product and its installation could be considered a DIY activity. (An installation service is also available.)

The installation provides two, permanently fitted, side mounting brackets fixed to the door frame. The FLOODGUARD panel can be secured within these brackets and held in place with a simple shoot bolt locking mechanism. A seal against the door frame is achieved by the panel’s unique pneumatic system. You simply inflate the device (air pump provided) allowing the panel edges to mate with and seal against the door frame.

The 2014 floods highlighted to everyone the U.K’s poor preparation for flooding, the inadequacies of traditional approaches such as sandbags and the sheer trauma of flooding. Taking effective action to reduce future flood risks can not only mitigate the insurance premium hikes that are normal after flood damage claims but can also save your property.

Floodguard is designed to protect your doors from excessive egress of surface water, of course if your property is susceptible from ground water egress then there are measures that would help to protect your property and this can be discussed at the time of assessment of needs.

S.H.S. operates from offices in the U.K. located just 50 miles North of London. Distribution is managed from a separate warehousing facility close to junction 13 M1 and our strengths are centred on 70 combined years’ experience in sealing solutions across a range of industries.
