Colourfence are transforming gardens across Somerset!

The fence that repairs itself If you scratch or cut Colourfence, the ingenious zinc element in the Zincalume steel reacts with moisture to form a protective barrier to prevent any corrosion with no action needed from you.

It may do “exactly what it says on the tin” but let’s face it, treating a timber fence can never be called fun!

In fact, owning a timber fence isn’t much fun either with costly, time consuming maintenance and repairs almost every year.

Finally, the alternative to timber fencing…our fence goes up and stays up, resisting wind gusts of up to 130mph!

Colourfence fencing solutions are made from innovative Colorbond steel, virtually maintenance free with an occasional wash down with water to keep it looking as good as new - so you never need to pick up that paintbrush again!, Guaranteed not to rot, warp, chip or peel for 25 years.

Available in a variety of heights and colours with or without trellis, our skilled installation team will make short work of transforming your garden.

The best news is the pricing is just as attractive, starting costs are in line with comparable traditional systems but offer the ongoing peace of mind that your investment will continue to save time and money year after year.

For those of us who want a low maintenance garden, Colourfence promises a lifetime of hassle-free enjoyment.

STRONG, SECURE & BUILT TO LAST!

Learn how to protect yourself and your money against remote access scams We’ve seen an increase in fraud attempts by text messages, phone calls and random pop up messages on the screen. Criminals claiming to be from organisations such as Microsoft, Amazon, Apple and high street banks have tried remote access scams on our customers. Learn how to protect yourself as fraudsters get smarter.

What is a remote access scam?

Remote access scams are when criminals contact you pretending to be someone they’re not. Then, they convince you to click web links or download applications for remote access software. This software lets fraudsters gain access to your computer or mobile phone. Once they have access, criminals will try to get into your financial accounts and information.

How to spot the signs: Large organisations will never contact you to: • Ask you to click on a web support link or download remote access to your device.

• Tell you your account isn’t safe, and ask you to move your money to a new account to keep it safe.

• Ask for your app PIN, card PIN, or any passwords.

How to protect yourself from scams: • If someone claiming to be an organisation asks you to download an application or visit any weblink (such as AnyDesk or TeamViewer) to get access to your computer, hang up immediately.

• If you have received an email, these can often be reported directly to the organisation. You can use a search engine and put in “Phishing” then the organisation name, and often they will have an email address that will accept the scam messages.

If you are worried about security and would like us to review your devices and give advice, please get in touch. We are committed to preventing fraud for our customers!!

Can pelvic floor exercises help treat incontinence?

You might already be aware of pelvic floor exercises. Women are frequently recommended them after giving birth, and men after prostate surgery. But did you know they can really help with incontinence?

This is because they strengthen your pelvic floor muscles, which support your bladder.

When these muscles are stronger, you’re less likely to have leaks.

Pretend you’re trying to stop the flow of urine.

Pull in and squeeze those muscles. Hold the squeeze for 5 to 10 seconds, then rest for 5 to 10 seconds. Don’t hold your breath or tighten any other muscles - and keep breathing!

Try for three or four sets of 10 contractions every day. You can do them anytime, anywhere. When you’re watching tv, sitting at a desk, driving a car – no-one will ever notice!

While not all incontinence problems can be improved using pelvic floor exercises, it’s definitely worth considering. And if you need help with products for your incontinence, call Arelle free on 0800 389 3597.
