A fitting end.

At Kingfisher we aim to make choosing windows, doors and conservatories a pleasant and relaxing experience for our customers. From first to last.

That is why we set such great store on the care we take with installation.

Care that is reflected in the number of people who recommend us to their friends. We train our fitters thoroughly and expect them not only to take pride in their workmanship but in every other aspect of the Kingfisher service they help us provide.

You will find them punctual, courteous, polite and tidy. As one of our customers, Noel Nation, puts it “...the workmanship was faultless and as a result we recommended them to our daughter...”

Kingfisher is a long established family firm and family values dictate the way we do business.

So much so that many of our customers become friends.

Our product range is comprehensive and consistently keenly priced. It includes PVCu, timber and aluminium and can be viewed, at your leisure, at our showrooms.

If you invite us to give you a quotation, we will take the time to establish your requirements exactly, explain the options and choices to you, give advice where required, take careful measurements and give you a clear, detailed breakdown of costs. We will then leave you to make a decision in your own time. You will not be harassed or badgered.

A family welcome awaits you.

SUMMERTIME AND THE LIVING IS EASY

I think we can safely say it’s the start of summer - and with this comes the increase of visitors to our beautiful city. At this point I should say congratulations to Wells Cathedral and The Bishop’s Palace who have been awarded ‘Coach Friendly’ status – the first attractions in Somerset to have received this recognition. It shows the importance that is placed on tourism, and the benefit that it brings to the whole city.

We have so much to be proud of in Wells – but don’t take it for granted. Make sure that you take advantage of everything that is on offer: from attending a free lunchtime organ recital at the Cathedral to visiting the Flower Festival at Wells United Church; witness the spectacle of 2,000 children dancing on the Cathedral Green or vintage motorcycles taking off from the Market Square. It’s all happening this month, and you can find the information inside this issue.

I’ll see you out and about .....

THE LEGAL MINEFIELD OF LETTING A HOUSE.

The law on letting a house changes all the time, and it’s all too easy to get caught out – and believe me if you get caught out, the costs can be high. Many believe that you can simply find a tenant and move them in and pocket a comfortable profit; but it’s not that simple. Do you take a deposit? Have you reference checked your tenant? Do you know their legal immigration status? Have you provided your tenant with all the relevant certificates and information? What do you do if your tenant doesn’t pay?

I know – it’s a lot of questions, and already your head is probably spinning, whilst asking yourself the question, “Is all this absolutely necessary?”.

The answer is “Yes” – not only necessary, but a legal requirement. Fines for failure to comply can be as high as £10,000. Some cases can even carry a prison sentence, such as failure to provide a gas safety certificate.

The best way to ensure you remain legal, and have a stress free way of letting your home, is to appoint a letting agent. They are specialists in the field and a good one can save you time, money, and stress. They often offer different types of let, including ‘Let only’ and ‘Full Property Management’. Be sure to discuss all the options and go with the option which suits you.

If you’re currently letting a home without an agent – don’t panic. It’s not illegal to do so – but you could be falling foul of the law in other areas without realising it. Get in touch with a letting agent who can help you get legal, and stay legal.

At Silver Island Properties, we specialise in Full Property Management; we deal with all the hassle and stress for a simple monthly fee – and it’s probably cheaper than you think.

BOOTS OPTICIONS

It is that time of year again. The sun is starting to shine, and the distinctive smell of bbq smoke begins to fill the air.

It is also the time of the year that the sneezing begins and the eyes become watery, red and irritable. Hay fever becomes the blight of many for the coming months and the symptoms increase as the pollen count rises. It is therefore important to act as early as possible. Even if you have never suffered in the past, the symptoms can begin at any age.

Hay fever is an allergic response to pollen, most commonly from grass, trees and flowers.

Tips for coping with hay fever and how to reduce ocular symptoms; Keep windows closed, regularly hoover and clean surfaces with a damp cloth Change your clothes and shower to remove pollen after being outside.

Hot bathe your eyes and use an eyelid cleanser to help remove pollen from around the eyelashes and improve tear film quality.

Eye drops can be used to reduce the ocular symptoms. Opticrom, a popular hay fever treatment acts by blocking the release of histamine from mast cells. Preservative free ocular lubricants are also great to help soothe the eyes. I recommend Hycosan, Celluvisc or Thealoz. Avoid contact lens wear for at least one hour after applying hay fever drops including Opticrom, however the ocular lubricants mentioned above can be used whilst wearing contact lenses.

As always the Optometrists in the Boots Opticians in both Street and Wells are on hand to give advise, so please come in or phone 01458442434 (Street) or 01749678455 (Wells) to book an appointment. We look forward to seeing you soon.

A NEW MEDITATION & MINDFULNESS CENTRE HAS OPENED IN WELLS

SoulBreath was founded by Karina Wilson-Meijer and is just a short walk from the high street.

The idea for SoulBreath has come from Karina’s many years researching optimal ways in which to nourish body and soul. She believes that meditation is one of the most powerful tools for deep relaxation and healing. As she says: “ We live in stressful times and often lead hectic and busy lives. This stress takes a toll on our health and relationships”. To name a few benefits – just 20 minutes of daily practice is scientifically proven to improve sleep, boost the immune system, increase concentration, reduce stress & anxiety, lower blood pressure, and even aid in weight loss.

At SoulBreath want to help you cultivate a positive attitude towards meditation, equip you with the right tools to deepen your practice over time and strip away all the things that can get in the way of connecting with this wonderful life skill. If you have never meditated before but would like to give it a try we can help you build a regular practice, find the right technique but also teach you a bit about the history and the scientific evidence behind the benefits. If you already meditate we can help you deepen your practice, help with breath work techniques and visualisations for self-healing or just provide you with a community of like-minded souls to meditate with. Our greatest wish is to empower people to access their natural inner wisdom and peace, to grow and live a happy life.

SoulBreath is located alongside Quantum Life, a new centre for health and wellbeing in the same building – www.quantumlife.org.uk We have the ability to tailor treatment packages to suit individual needs.

Our first 8-week Meditation & Mindfulness course has just started and we have plans to launch classes any day now. Please join us on June 15th from 5-7 pm for an Open House. We would love to meet you and tell you more about what we do.

Please contact Karina on 07787 506378 or karina@soulbreath.co.uk for more information.

Visit our website to keep up to date on what is happening with classes & courses: www.soulbreath.co.uk

CONSERVATION AT KILLERTON HOUSE: CLEANING SIR THOMAS

The life of an art restorer is seldom dull! While the day-today practicalities of treating paintings can include repetitive tasks like cleaning, retouching and tear mending, this is offset by the remarkable variety of paintings, prints and archival documents that seem to arrive in my studio each month. My site-work for the National Trust also offers some exciting challenges, as well as a chance to work alongside other heritage professionals in amazing settings such as Killerton House in Devon. Earlier this year, I was called to Killerton House to clean “Sir Thomas Dyke Acland (the 10th Baronet)”, painted by William Owen in 1818. This dramatic, full-length portrait had been hung out of reach of housekeeping staff for several decades. Imminent building works meant that it had to be un-hung for a time, presenting a rare opportunity to remove a substantial build-up of dust and dirt from the painting and it’s ornately carved and gilded frame. A scaffold was constructed to allow me to access the portrait for cleaning, starting from the top, and adjusted to lower levels as treatment progressed. As I worked close to the surface of the painting, I could observe and document issues such as old restorations, some paint flaking developing and rather numerous damages to the frame. House staff mentioned stories that in the 1960s, before the house was in National Trust care, the painting was subjected to pelting with stale bread rolls by student residents. Such dinner-time hostilities certainly took a toll on the frame. However, lack of precision ensured the painting was spared any damage! A privilege of my job is that I often get to work at very close range with incredible pictures, not usually so accessible, or in storage and not available for public viewing. Sir Thomas’ portrait will be on display at ground level before being re-hung after the building works later this year. So, for a little while longer, everyone visiting Killerton House this summer has the chance to take a much closer look at this significant portrait.

DEPENDABLE, QUALITY DENTISTRY WHEN YOU NEED IT MOST.

In the April edition I described how the prevention of injury and disease is central to our approach to providing dental healthcare. But what happens when prevention fails?

When the worst happens and an injury occurs or previous dental work comes to the end of its useful life, it is important to know that you can depend on your local dentist to give you timely help, advice and support. At Priory Dental, we are committed to doing just that. We aim to see all of our regular patients the same day if they call us before 10am with an urgent dental emergency. We pride ourselves on being able to provide a personal and responsive service.

Being a small independent practice allows us the ability to really get to know our patients. This means that if and when problems do occur we know what you want and need from us, and you can be confident in us to find the right solution for you.

New patients to the practice are currently registering to see me. So I thought I’d introduce myself, my name is Ryan Hughes and am keen to make us as approachable and straight-talking as possible.

I have a background in both Dentistry and Medicine and am both a Member of the Faculty of Dental Surgery at the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh and a Fellow of the Faculty of Dentistry at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland. So not only can you be confident in us to help you when problems occur, but you can be confident that we have the ability to provide you with high quality dental solutions when you need them.

You now have a range of options for seeing us including PrioryPlan for access to regular dental advice and prevention from only £8.49/ month. Alternatively our pay-as-you go fees are some of the most competitive locally. Please see our website at www.priorydental.com for more information.

INDEPENDENCE IN YOUR OWN HOME WITH SUTTONS STAIRLIFTS If you have difficulty getting up and down stairs you are not alone. The decision to install a stairlift is sometimes a difficult one to take but, when compared with the alternative of moving, or living on only one level of their home, many people have found a stairlift to be their preferred solution.

Suttons Stairlifts is a family-run business dedicated to providing a fair and ethical service with a nopressure selling policy. We offer a range of new or refurbished Handicare stair lifts, either straight or curved in the Somerset and Mendip area.

We also offer a rental option for straight stairlifts as well as servicing and safety checks, repairs and removals.

You are also choosing an ISO Quality approved product that conforms to the ethical business practices required by the British Healthcare Trades Association.

It is a popular misconception that stairlifts are fitted to the wall, they are usually fitted to the staircase itself. Most lifts will only take between 2-4 hours to install.

All Handicare stairlifts have safety sensors on the power pack and footplate; these are designed to stop the lift if it meets any obstruction.

If there is a power cut your stairlift will continue to operate for approximately 10 trips using the internal batteries.

Handicare stairlifts offer features such as a powered swivel seat and powered folding footplate; these can make using a stairlift even easier by allowing you to operate these functions at the touch of a button.. Even if you don’t need them now, they may be something you will benefit from in the future.

We will visit you to survey the staircase and conduct a user assessment leaving you the leaflets and prices so you can make the decision in your own time.

Whilst stairlifts are very simple to use they are mechanical devices and do require annual servicing and maintenance.

With our inclusive and comprehensive 12 or 24 month warranty and 365 day coverage you can be assured of a first-class and personal service.
