HIGHEST RATED ROOFER IN SOMERSET! (42 ★★★★★ Google reviews)

“Fantastic responsive service. It’s the 2nd time I have used central roofing and on both occasions they turned up on time got on with the job and kept us informed on what was being carried out. Went above and beyond and assisted me in issues around insurance. I would recommend this company to anyone with roofing issues.”

Cat Lady

We used Central Roofing to take down an old flat roof and install another on our business premises at Knight Brothers Garage. The company was very reliable, they turned up when they said they would, the guys that did the work were very tidy and efficient. The work was completed in the time frame they set…we are more than pleased with the finished job.

This month – Trees: Heroes of nature

most organisms on Earth. A mature leafy tree can produce as much oxygen in a season as 10 people inhale in a year. By cleansing the air, trees essentially act as the lungs of our planet.

Trees are formidable warriors in the battle against climate change. By absorbing and storing carbon dioxide, they mitigate the greenhouse effect, helping to cool our warming planet. Forests worldwide store more than 296 gigatons of carbon, acting as crucial carbon sinks.

Trees have graced our planet for over 370 million years, offering a range of benefits that render them indispensable to life as we know it. National Tree Week (25th November-3rd December) celebrates the many reasons why trees are the champions of the natural world and why we should all plant a tree today.

Every school student learns that trees play a pivotal role in the process of carbon dioxide reduction. Through photosynthesis they absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen, a vital element for

Forests, rich with trees of all kinds, are hotspots of biodiversity. They provide habitat, food, and protection to countless species, from the tallest giraffes nibbling on treetop leaves in Africa, to the smallest beetles burrowing in the bark of rainforest trees. Without trees, many of these habitats would be lost, leading to massive declines in biodiversity.

Trees play an essential role in maintaining the health and integrity of our soil. Their root systems anchor the soil, preventing erosion, particularly in areas susceptible to landslides or during heavy rainfall. Furthermore, fallen leaves decompose and enrich the soil with nutrients, promoting a healthy ground ecosystem.

Trees significantly influence the water cycle. They absorb rainfall and produce water vapour through transpiration, which is then released into the atmosphere. This process not only aids in cloud formation but also ensures that water is recycled back into our environment through rain, maintaining a balanced ecosystem.

In urban environments, trees act as natural air conditioners. Their shade cools down streets and cities, reducing the need for air conditioning in nearby buildings and lowering energy costs. Moreover, trees absorb and block sunlight, reducing the heat island effect common in urban areas.

Recent studies have highlighted the health benefits associated with trees. Proximity to green spaces with trees, has been linked to reduced stress, lower depression rates, and increased physical activity. Furthermore, trees filter out pollutants, providing cleaner air and reducing the rates of respiratory illnesses.

The multifaceted roles trees play in sustaining life on Earth means that we should be protecting them and planting more. In a rapidly changing world they are the stewards of our world and it is our duty to recognize their value, protect them, and ensure they continue to thrive for generations to come.

Happy gardening.

Fruit & Nut Bark – a great gift to make for Christmas

Ingredients

75g cup walnuts

450g good white chocolate, finely chopped

75g dried cranberries

75g medium-diced dried apricot

Directions

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C. Using a pencil, draw an 8-by-10-inch rectangle on a piece of parchment paper. Turn the parchment paper over so the pencil mark doesn’t get onto the chocolate and place it on a sheet pan.

Place the walnuts in one layer on another sheet pan and bake for 8 minutes. Set aside to cool. Place three quarters of the white chocolate in a heat-proof glass bowl and put it in the microwave on high for 30 seconds.

Stir the chocolate with a rubber spatula, return it to the microwave for another 30 seconds, then stir again. Continue to heat and stir in 30-second intervals until the chocolate is just melted. Immediately stir in the remaining chocolate and allow it to sit at room temperature, stirring often,

until it’s completely smooth. (If you need to heat it a little more, place it in the microwave for another 15 seconds.)

Pour the melted chocolate onto the parchment paper and spread it lightly to fill the drawn rectangle.

Sprinkle the top evenly with the cooled walnuts, the cranberries, and apricots. Press the nuts and fruit lightly so they will set in the chocolate. Set aside for at least 2 hours until firm or refrigerate for 20 minutes.

Cut or break the bark in 16 pieces and serve at room temperature.

Great as Christmas presents – present in a small box or cellophane bag tied with a pretty ribbon. Enjoy.

The latest innovations

You might not think of incontinence pads as a particularly ground-breaking product, but they really have come a long way in recent years. Now they provide better comfort, greater security and more convenience, making life easier for you or someone you are caring for.

• Super absorbent materials

One of the most significant advancements is the use of super absorbent materials, which quickly lock away moisture, keeping you dry and comfortable for longer periods. This reduces the frequency of pad changes, offering greater convenience.

• Odour control technology

Many modern pads incorporate advanced odour control technology, such as neutralising fragrances, to help maintain a fresh environment. This ensures that you can go about your daily activities without worrying about unwanted odours.

• Discreet designs

In recent years, pads have become much more discreet without compromising on absorbency. These slimmer designs are not only less conspicuous, but also more comfortable to wear, allowing you to move freely and confidently.

• Stay-dry topsheets

Higher quality pads will feature stay-dry topsheets which wick moisture away from the skin, keeping

it dry and minimising the risk of skin irritation. This feature is particularly beneficial for those with sensitive skin or who require long-term incontinence care.

• Gender-specific options

Incontinence pads are now available in genderspecific designs, catering to the unique needs of both men and women. These gender-specific pads offer a better fit and enhanced leakage protection. That said, unisex are now designed to comfortably accommodate most body shapes.

• Eco-friendly choices

Arelle only stocks pads from Abena, because this is a company approved by The Nordic Swan Ecolabel. This is an environmental labelling system that contributes to sustainable consumption and production, and means the pads we sell are more sustainable while still providing the same level of performance.

In summary, all of these innovations can transform managing incontinence, offering you improved comfort, discretion and peace of mind. For help, give us a call at Arelle on 0800 389 3597 and we would be more than happy to chat through your options with you. We’re here to help you live your life with confidence and comfort. 10% off when you sign

6 ways to help a loved one with hearing loss

By Simon Swindells, Director and Clinical Lead Audiologist at South West Hearing Care

It can be challenging when a loved one discovers they are experiencing hearing loss, but it’s important to offer support and encouragement that works for you, your loved one, and the whole family…

1. Help them understand the signs

Start by explaining specific signs of hearing loss you have noticed. Maybe they had trouble following the conversation in a restaurant, or they have the TV up too loud.

2. Encourage them to get their hearing tested

The first step in addressing hearing loss is to have a professional hearing test with an Audiologist. This is a simple procedure that will help identify the type and degree of hearing loss your loved one has. Many are hesitant to acknowledge their hearing loss or seek treatment.

3. Help them communicate effectively

Communication can be challenging for someone with hearing loss, but there are ways to make it easier. When speaking to your loved one, face them directly and speak clearly and slowly, but not overly loud. If there is something they don’t understand, don’t hesitate to repeat or rephrase it. Avoid speaking from another room or while turned away, as this can make it harder for them to hear.

4. Be patient

Hearing loss can be frustrating, and it may take your loved one time to adjust to their new reality. Be patient and understanding and try not to get frustrated or angry if they have trouble hearing you. Always offer your support and encouragement and help them develop coping mechanisms that work for them.

5. Educate yourself

The more you know about hearing loss, the better equipped you will be to help your loved one. Read up on the causes and types of hearing loss and available hearing aid technology.

6. Stay positive

It’s important to stay positive and optimistic. Encourage them to stay engaged in social activities, pursue their passions, and remind them that their hearing loss does not define them. If you’d like to speak us for further advice or to book a hearing assessment for your loved one, please contact don’t hesitate to contact my team.

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.

STRONG, SECURE & BUILT TO LAST!

Colourfence are transforming gardens across Somerset!

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.
