No Painting or repairs to your fence for 25 years? …It must be a ColourFence Fencing!

Summer is here and there is always plenty to do in the garden.

However, with ColourFence, one of the most tedious, timeconsuming jobs disappears overnight.

ColourFence is a metal garden fence solution that once fitted requires no treatments or repairs. It’s guaranteed not to warp, crack, shrink, rot or peel for the next 25 years.

And, unlike other fences, ColourFence can withstand wind gusts of up to 130mph.

There’s a choice of colours to harmonise and enhance your garden’s design and the option of plain or trellis panels.

Our panels are eight feet wide and include the intermediate posts, unlike standard wooden panels.

Whatever the shape of your garden we can step, rake or cut your ColourFence to size, allowing your boundary to follow the natural contours of your land.

Both sides of the panels are the same colour meaning both you and your neighbour have a stunning fence to look at year after year, helping you build good neighbourly relations.

Call Jordan or Courtney on 01823 792029 today for a free no obligation visit or for further information visit colourfencetaunton.co.uk

Updating your bathroom?

AHM Installations takes the hassle out of finding the right tradespeople When you’re updating your bathroom, naturally the style of shower, basin and tiles are important. But there may be structural work needed too – AHM Installations can do it all. For example, you could create a bigger bathroom by removing a wall or create a new ensuite bathroom by adding a wall. If you wanted a more powerful shower the electric cables could need updating. A floor might need taking up to examine the pipework underneath. A good installations company doesn’t shy away from this type of work because it ensures that your bathroom is safe; that it meets regulations and that it works for you. The last thing you want in your bathroom is dodgy electrics!

The Booth* family called AHM Installations for advice as their father, who uses a wheelchair, was struggling to access the bathroom easily and safely. They wanted to have their downstairs study and toilet knocked together to form one large wetroom. This may sound like a job for a builder, but AHM have all the skills and experience you need.

“We created a completely new space from scratch”, said Charles Weeks, Bathroom Surveyor at AHM. The dividing wall was knocked down, a new ceiling was put in and a new extractor fan was installed. The fuse board, which was previously situated in the study, was moved out into the hallway – a complex electrical job.

Light switches were moved and a shaving socket was added, all to make the room easier for Mr Booth to use.

The family are delighted with their new wetroom.

“AHM is an absolutely wonderful company – we couldn’t recommend it more. It’s made such a difference to Dad and to all of us. Amazing designers and the men who fitted it were wonderful, polite and patient.”

AHM often have jobs that require structural work. AHM take the hassle out of organising the tradespeople you need to complete the job. All our fitters are members of BIKBBI which means they are DBS checked, fully insured and continually monitored. AHM Installations is a family-run firm installing safe, affordable bathrooms for people with limited mobility. Call us on 01278 401362 to discuss your needs. · Member of the British Healthcare Trades Association (BHTA) · Check-a-trade score 10/10 (May 2021)

When is the time to replace an ageing computer?

We often get asked the question “How long will a computer last?” – generally the life of a computer seems to range from about 3 years to 10 years depending on the quality of components and how it is used. External factors can also influence this, such as power surges and even drink spillages. One way to extend the life of a computer is to replace ageing or slow parts, but due to the pace of improving technology, sometimes replacement is the best long term solution.

It is wise and much safer to carry out planned computer replacements instead of waiting until they break down and stop functioning from old age, which makes replacing much harder, and risks data loss. When a less old computer needs repair, a replacement can still be the best option, such as when repair costs meet or exceed the cost of a new computer. A troublesome computer should be looked at by an experienced engineer who can help determine the best cost-effective way forward.

With the release of Windows 11 and its strict hardware requirements, most computers older than 3 years cannot upgrade, so this becomes another factor which can make a new computer the better option over investing in repairs. On this note, we recommend all computers run Windows 11 as soon as possible. A computer will also run healthier for longer when free from infections, so it is important to ensure a secure, paid antivirus solution is installed. Never run a free antivirus as they fail to provide adequate protection.

Unsure whether your computer should be replaced or want help with antivirus and backup solutions?

Let’s talk about incontinence Did you know that in Europe more people have incontinence problems than have vision problems? Or that there are 46 million people in Europe living with overactive bladders?

Incontinence is far more common than you might think, and that’s why we believe there really is no space for embarrassment or shame in talking about it.

If you want to chat about the best products to use, whether that’s for you or a member of your family, for a short or long term basis, do give us a call - or email us if you prefer. We talk about incontinence and bladder and bowel weaknesses all day long, and we have done for 20 years, so you can be assured we don’t consider it embarrassing – but we definitely understand how distressing it can be, and we are here to help you discreetly, confidentially and kindly.

The more we have conversations about incontinence, the closer we are to ending the shame around experiencing bladder weakness. So let’s talk about it. 0800 3893597 or email info@arelle.com

Three Top Summer Kitchen Tips from Graeme Robertson, OvenGleamers 1. Tear basil rather than cutting it?

Chefs often say that you must tear basil, rather than cut it with a knife, to get the best flavour. Nope. The flavours in basil are primarily contained within the cells of the leaf. If you tear it, it tends to come apart between the cells but if you cut the leaf, you will break open the cells releasing the flavour. This makes the most difference when you are using the basil raw eg in a tomato salad.

Best to wash the basil, pat dry with paper towels, and remove the leaves from the stem. Stack several leaves together and roll into a cylinder, then cut crossways into thin strips.

2. Should I use foil on the base of my Oven?

Many people line their grill pan or the bottom of the oven with aluminum foil to keep their cookers cleaner. This becomes heavily coated in grease and smells revolting! But it actually damages the enamel in the grill pan and on the base of the oven. The foil creates a superheating effect by reflecting the heat back onto the base of the oven or grill pan which then causes enamel damage.

I recommend using an oven liner made from PTFE with a non-stick coating. This will catch any food drips keeping the bottom of the oven/grill pan clean. Remember to take the oven liner out regularly and wash it in warm soapy water.

3 “Hot pan - cold oil - prevents sticking” Is this mantra really the best way to prevent food from sticking to the pan when sautéing or stir-frying.

The idea is that you heat up the pan first then add the cold oil and almost immediately add the food and that will stop it sticking. What you really want is a “hot pan, hot oil”. When you add cold oil, it heats up almost instantly when added to the hot pan – giving you “hot pan, hot oil”. You get the same results if you heat the oil along with the pan so take your pick – they both work!

Offering independent land agency services we provide an unbiased, tailor-made experience.

With 20 years of experience in the industry, we offer comprehensive land & housing expertise. We are proud of senior-level partnerships in the property development industry and continuously grow our business relationships.

And if you have anything with planning and you are struggling to sell, then please get in touch, we have sold lots of sites where other agents have failed, some of which we have re-designed to produce a better outcome for all involved!

Do you have any of the following…

Potential development land?

Land you would like to know it’s value?

Land you have been unable to sell?

Land to sell but don’t want to pay a selling fee?

The company of a volunteer reduces the risk of isolation and loneliness for people with sight loss, our 300 volunteers say that they also benefit from helping people within their local communities. We would give you full support in your role & pay your expenses including mileage. If you would be interested in joining us, please contact me on 01643 842972 or email claire.packwood@ somersetsight.org.uk to find out more.

20% OFF all confirmed bookings until the end of August 2022

All works guaranteed No job too big or small
