SS Flooring

Spoilt for choice It’s the huge number of options and the superb service that keeps satfisfied customers coming back to Layers Flooring time after time.

W

ith a huge choice of flooring options to suit all tastes and budgets, as well as a friendly, professional service that has earned them a solid reputation, it’s little wonder that Layers Flooring customers are lining up to sing the company’s praises.

Happy to share their first-class experience are David and Barbara Arnold of Dronfield Woodhouse, who chose Layers to supply and fit new vinyl flooring in their kitchen and dining room.

Mr and Mrs Arnold said: “We first chose Layers eight years ago when they fitted our kitchen with vinyl flooring. We initially went to them because they are a local firm and so we thought we would give them a try. They were in the Civic Centre back then and we used to pass them while out shopping.

“Having been very happy with the service, when we decided to have vinyl fitted in the dining room too, we used Layers again. The dining room used to be carpeted but now it is more easily accessible for David, who uses a wheeled walker, as it is all one level and totally flat.

“When we visited the shop to enquire about the flooring, we felt very looked after.

They got a chair for David and moved things around in the shop to make it more easily accessible for him.

“We had something quite specific in mind and were shown lots of samples. The choice was great and they explained about the different types of vinyl, helping us to reach the right decision. After we had chosen, they said it could be done within two weeks and were happy to fit it at a convenient time for us.

SOUTHSIDE 6

“In the meantime, a man came round to measure the room and he brought samples so we could double check we were completely happy with our choice.

“Then when the fitter arrived a few days later we recognised each other as he was the one who had fitted our kitchen flooring eight years ago. He placed plywood down in the dining room – as he had done previously with the kitchen – before laying the flooring so it was nice and smooth. The vinyl is also very thick so it looks just like real wooden floorboards.

“We were so impressed with the fitter’s workmanship; he was brilliant. We still can’t get our head around how he fitted the flooring as it was all in one piece but it’s incredibly neat – especially around the radiator pipes. He also pulled out the fridge, freezer and washer and put them back into place with no trouble. All in under two hours.

“He was so impressed with his handiwork he even asked us if he could take a photograph for his portfolio!

“If anybody asks us where to get new flooring, we would definitely recommend Layers. And in the future when we need new carpets we’ll certainly be popping up there.”

Panic attacks Do you suffer from panic attacks? The effects are scary, but hypnotherapist Charlotte Spivey can help keep the problem under control.

D

o you suffer from panic attacks? The effects are scary, but hypnotherapist Charlotte Spivey can help keep the problem under control.

A panic attack is one of the scariest things to ever experience; for many people it can seem as serious as a heart attack. It’s a total and complete loss of control over the way your mind feels and behaves, and that in itself is frightening.

The story often goes that after your first panic attack, you will probably go to the doctor and have your heart checked only to be told you have suffered a panic attack ... not a physical illness but something psychological.

Very often you’re put onto anti-anxiety medication, you may be placed on the waiting list for counselling, you could also be left to tackle this new, very frightening and lonely

problem by yourself. You then change your life to accommodate the panic attacks, having no idea how to stop them or help yourself.

You feel lost, lonely and afraid of your own mind.

You stop seeing friends as much or even at all, you stop answering the phone, you stop going to places like the cinema or to social events, you stop going to the shops or anywhere you fear might increase the risk of having another panic attack.

This is an understandable reaction. As anyone who has suffered a panic attack can testify, the effects can be pretty extreme, such as a racing heart, breathlessness, pounding headache, extreme sweats and uncontrollable shakes can make you feel on the brink of passing out.

The fear is often made worse by the thought of having a panic attack in public. In

Charlotte Spivey

reality, more often than not, only you will know what is happening, but if you do suffer a panic attack it seems as though the whole world is watching.

However, life doesn’t have to be like this.

Over the years I have used hypnotherapy to treat many people for panic attacks, and the results have been life changing. It’s also surprisingly quick to stop panic attacks, so stop feeling alone and afraid and let me help you. Let these panic attacks be a thing of the past and get your life back to where you want it.

SS Eating Out

Words: Phoebe Seymour

The whole package Drink, dance and dine... Cubana offers the ultimate night out.

I

f there’s one thing Cuba knows best, it’s how to throw a good party. Home to salsa dancing, rum and a cultural fusion of cuisines, the best of this nation is all under one roof – in Sheffield.

My last trip to Cubana was when it was still on Trippet Lane, so I was excited to sample the tapas and cocktails at their relatively new home in Leopold Square.

Cubana has been at this stylish location for almost a year and if the busy downstairs bar and booked-up restaurant upstairs are anything to go by, the move has been a raving success.

Absorbing the colourful, courtyard-style setting, my partner and I got our Friday fiesta started with a Brazilian Mojito, made with sugarcane spirit cachaça instead of rum, and a Verry Berry Jerry cocktail, made with Sailor Jerry and fruity Chambord.

The tapas menu had a guide for helping you decide how many dishes to go for.

Deciding we were “hungry” on the scale, we went with four each.

After sharing a Pan de Ajo Calentito (garlic bread), I tucked into the Gambas Pil Pil (prawns in garlic and olive oil), Patatas Dulces y Pimientos (roasted sweet potatoes and red peppers), Pincho Verduras (grilled Mediterranean vegetable skewer) and the Chorizo y Huevo con Patatas (chorizo and potatoes topped with a fried egg). Try saying all that after a few cocktails!

The prawns were juicy with a buttery flavour, whilst my mountain of sweet potatoes was balanced by spicy chilli. The marinated vegetable skewer, including blackened

SOUTHSIDE 16

aubergines and courgettes, had a lemony tang, whilst the chorizo and potatoes dipped in the fried egg reminded me of a fried breakfast with a Spanish twist. All together, this was an exciting and varied feast full of many flavours.

My partner had the Mozzarella y Jamón (buffalo mozzarella wrapped in Parma ham), Salteado de Champiñones al Ajillo (sautéed mixed mushrooms with garlic and chilli), Pincho de Pollo (grilled chicken skewer) and the Pollo y Chorizo (chicken and chorizo in a creamy tomato sauce).

He especially enjoyed the mascarponestyle sauce on his chicken and chorizo and the portions of mozzarella wrapped in ham, comparing them to “cheese-filled pigs in blankets”. I had a mouthful of the chicken skewer, which was barbecued to perfection and made a great summer dish.

My partner had the raspberry cheesecake to finish – a great recommendation by our waiter Stuart – whilst I had the decadent chocolate cake with moist layers of chocolate and fudge. My partner washed this down with a Brazilian liqueur coffee with kahlua and fiery brandy, whilst I had the smoother Cuban liqueur coffee with dark rum.

By this point, a man was serenading diners with his saxophone and the party was just getting started downstairs with people swaying to traditional salsa and Latino club tunes.

Owner Adrian’s ethos is “about providing the whole package when it comes to a night out”. With a gorgeous menu, exciting cocktails and regular live music events, Cubana sure does deliver.

Excellent service and a fantastic selection of meat and poultry make Underwood’s Butcher’s Shop a natural choice.

Quality and choice

A

s the days get colder and darker, there’s nothing better than a wholesome hot meal filled with generous, juicy cuts of meat to look forward to.

At the Underwood’s Butcher’s Shop on Barnes Lane in Dronfield Woodhouse, you’ll find a great selection of high-quality, fresh meats at everyday good prices.

Underwood’s have been trading here for the past three years and traditional butchery is key for this family-run business, combined with excellent customer service and a wide choice of fresh meat.

Underwood’s Rotherham store opened in 2008, their Eckington store followed in 2014,

and, with the recent opening of their Barnsley branch in August, Underwood’s now has four shops, reaching more customers in the area than ever before.

It really is worth a visit to see the full range of products on offer. Their range spans many types of meats, including beef, lamb, pork and poultry – everything you would expect to see from a local retail butcher. If you don’t see something on display, just ask one of the skilled butchers who will happily prepare and cut it to your preference.

The shop also features a range of National Parks beef and lamb, sourced from Underwood’s own farm, in the Peak District – a really tasty and local treat.

‘There’s a whole host of choices to tantalise your tastebuds, from homemade black pudding to an expansive range of homemade, awardwinning sausages.’

SOUTHSIDE 18

It doesn’t just stop there though; there’s a whole host of choices to tantalise your tastebuds, from homemade black pudding to an expansive range of home-made, awardwinning sausages.

For those who can’t decide what to have, the Underwood’s family feast pack is available for just £19.99 and has everything you need to feed an average family for around a week.

This includes 2lb beef stew, 2lb beef mince, five chicken fillets, five sirloin steaks and five gammon steaks. Make sure you also look out for their winter specials, which will be announced in-store soon.

If you just want a quick snack, they also have an extensive deli counter, which features a fine selection of fresh pies, pastries, cakes and hand-made sandwiches.

The Underwood’s Butcher’s Shop also offers a privilege club savings scheme so customers can shop and save and be rewarded for their purchases; giving loyal customers even more savings.

If you haven’t been already, it really is worth a visit to the Underwood’s Butcher’s Shop. There is ample parking right outside, so you can pop in and see the fine range of products on offer – the team will be only too pleased to welcome you.

D.W Garrett appreciates that not everyone can get along to the shop with ease, so anybody who is housebound can call them to make an appointment for them to visit you in your own home. So if you are looking for a trusted jeweller who offers good old fashioned service and value for money, call in to D.W Garrett.

SS Flooring

Are you looking for a range of flooring that is both practical and attractive?

Then look no further!

Stunning floors

W

hen it comes to flooring, you want something practical to meet the demands of your particular lifestyle, but you also want it to look attractive and match the rest of your decor.

Luckily, Cathy Kearns found that Dronfield Carpets & Floors ticks all these boxes. Cathy has been diagnosed with MS and increasingly relies on her electric wheelchair to get around.

She moved into a more accessible bungalow in Dronfield with friend Denise Holmes in October 2013 and soon realised the property needed a few changes to adapt to her lifestyle.

“My bedroom used to have a carpet, but I found myself skidding or getting stuck,” said Cathy.

“With Luxury Vinyl Tile Flooring, it’s much easier to get around and it’s a lot more practical for spillages too.”

Luxury Vinyl Tile Flooring may look like solid wood, but it is actually ultra-thin and as smooth as linoleum, meaning there are no lumps and bumps. Cathy can enjoy woodenlook flooring with all the benefits of seamless non-wooden flooring.

Cathy was concerned that the dark shade of the Arno Smoked Oak wouldn’t match the wooden furniture in her room. But thanks to

SOUTHSIDE 28

the showroom’s sample boards, she was able to visualise the outcome.

“It’s a well-designed showroom and there is so much choice. I had an idea of what I wanted but needed a little help. Sharon was fantastic and showed us lots of samples,” said Cathy. “The whole process was so quick and the fitter Richard was also really accommodating.”

As Cathy’s bed is weighed down with mobility equipment, the bed was too heavy to move out of the room, so Richard and his team did half of the room in the morning and the other half in the afternoon.

They even removed the old carpet and disposed of it with minimum mess.

We all like to add a personal touch to our homes and with Dronfield Carpets & Floors, you can create your own bespoke flooring.

This was the ideal solution for Cathy, who wanted a rug as a focal point, but realised it would make mobility difficult. Instead, she opted for the gorgeous Canadian Maple Cartwheel design, as well as a matching border to complete the look.

Various square and circular designs are available, but you can also create your own design if you want to add a unique centrepiece to your room.

At Dronfield Carpets & Floors, highquality brands are just as important as

excellent customer service. “It’s not cheap, but you can tell its great quality and it comes with 10 years guarantee.”

Finally, as Cathy finds it difficult to get into housemate Denise’s car, she was pleased that she had such a great floor retailer virtually on her doorstep. “The fact it’s local was a bonus. I could easily get there on my scooter.”

Denise added: “We’d highly recommend Dronfield Carpets & Floors and we are definitely going to get them to do our hall next.”

House of Granite and Marble

T Nutt & Sons

Natural materials that feel as good as they look are an attractive feature in any home. Granite, marble and slate bring a feeling of quality to both kitchens and bathrooms and have excellent durability.

There are many colours and textures available at House of Granite and Marble in Chesterfield, and you can see them all across their 2,000 sq ft showroom.

Perhaps you favour blue pearl granite from Norway, resembling chips of ice, or maybe you prefer tan granite from India, with its rich coffee colours. Of course, there is the classic black surface of granite, in all its variations. There are over 200 colours and every piece is unique.

“Some people think that granite, marble and quartz is beyond their budget, but this does not have to be the case,” says managing director Rob Hall. “Our policy is to buy direct from the UK or overseas suppliers and that makes a significant difference to the cost.”

Clay Cross-based carpet retailer T Nutt & Sons has attained the much-coveted Which?

Trusted Trader status. The Which? Trusted Trader scheme only awards this certification to the very best businesses, which maintain the highest professional standards. Having already gained glowing accolades in the Family Business Awards in 2011 and 2013, being recognised as registered specialists by the Carpet Foundation and being esteemed members of the Derbyshire Trusted Trader Scheme, T Nutt & Sons is resolutely committed to the traditional values of excellent customer service and total professionalism.

Managing director David Nutt said: “We are extremely proud of being Which? Trusted Traders.

Although we have been trading for over 146 years, it is still rewarding to receive recognition for our on-going efforts.”

Heat Guard Windows Throughout North Derbyshire and South Yorkshire thousands of people are living in houses that are unnecessarily cold, unsecure and uncomfortable, others suffer disturbing amounts of traffic noise. Why? Because their windows, although double glazed, are failing to do the job they were bought to do.

Many people bought double glazing 10, 20 or even 30 years ago and still have them in their homes today. Most are UPVC so very little maintenance is required but, they are also very basic double glazing.

SS Homes

Do your house proud

Words: Katie Preston-Hargrave

Act now to make sure your home can take the worst the winter can throw at it.

A

s the nights draw in and weather becomes colder, it’s inevitable that you’ll end up spending more time indoors, so it’s a good idea to start thinking about preparing your home for winter. To get your home ready for the worst winter can throw at it and avoid costly repairs, why not take a look at our tips on getting your home ready for the bad weather that’s sure to be on its way.

Check your gutters Clogged gutters will block the drainage of melting snow and the autumn rain. This could lead to leaks and may even end up harming the foundations of your house. As autumn tends to leave little gifts of fallen leaves in gutters, now is the time to grab a ladder, a pair of gloves, a rubbish bag and get stuck in.

Tidy the garden When the leaves fall in autumn they can suffocate the grass underneath, especially if they are wet (which, let’s face it, in autumn and winter, they’re going to be). However, don’t just scrape them up and put them in the bin— they contain plenty of nutrients which can make them a great fertiliser. This reduces waste and is environmentally friendly. Also, all frost-sensitive plants should be moved from tubs to smaller pots and placed in a suitable shelter.

Don’t worry if you don’t have a greenhouse most plants will be perfectly happy in your porch or on a window sill.

Keeping safe Keeping safe in the autumn and winter is very different from keeping safe during the rest of the year as the number of house fires in the UK rises due to the increased use of heating appliances. If you have a wood-burning fire have it swept and repaired because this can help to prevent chimney fires and prevent dangerous carbon monoxide from getting into your home.

If your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are more than ten years old, it is recommended that they should be replaced.

Unwanted guests Small animals like rats and mice can find their way into virtually any home if they’re given the opportunity, but their refuges tend to be the same. Checking common hiding places such as under the stairs, cupboards and appliances, ensures you know about them in time to get rid of them before you have any nasty surprises. They are more common inside the house during the winter as they love the warmth of insulated basements and lofts, using them as nesting places from where they have easy access to the rest of your house and, occasionally, your food. To avoid any surprise encounters with these furry freeloaders, block off any openings any insects or small animals could get through. And don’t forget that it’s important do this before the cold drives the little creatures to seek shelter inside.

Make your heating as efficient as possible Bleeding your radiators is a great way to make sure your home stays as warm as possible. It allows hot water to fill the whole of your radiators by releasing any trapped air. This means your heating system will work more efficiently. A poor performing radiator, or one that is making a strange shrill sound, indicates a problem. If it still does not perform as efficiently as it once did, even after bleeding, then it could be that the heating pipes are blocked. In that case, hire a plumber or heating engineer to clear out the pipes and get the system back in top condition. Make sure your house is well heated in the colder months to prevent your water pipes from freezing and cracking. If they do, you could end up with other problems such as leakings or burst pipes which can result in serious water damage to your home.

Personal Legal Services

Irwin Mitchell Wills, Trust & Estate Disputes Families fall out at the best of times and the consequences can be devastating. This can be exacerbated following a death. The controversial provisions of a will can quickly lead to a total and utter breakdown in the relationship amongst family members.

People’s emotions can overwhelm them. It can become an exceptionally emotive dispute and as such people can often be ruled by their heart rather than their head. It can create a situation where the family is quickly ripped apart.

Claims are on the rise. Recent reports indicate that claims have increased by 30%. This is, in my view, the tip of the iceberg. One in five people have been involved in a Will dispute in the UK and this is likely to increase. Irwin Mitchell gets 70 new enquiries a month on average and this figure is growing. It is a significantly higher figure than it was even three years ago.

It is difficult to avoid these disputes where there are disappointed beneficiaries and their very nature means that they are not easy to resolve.

It is vitally important to take advice from experts. This is a very specialised area of litigation and has its own unique rules and procedures. If it is approached like a commercial dispute, this can create additional problems. Those of us who are experienced in this area of law, generally adopt a pragmatic and reasonable stance, always looking to explore the possibility of settlement, given the very high costs involved in litigating the matter. The first letter can set the tone for the way in which the dispute develops and ultimately the manner in which it is resolved.

In my view the best advice is simply to talk. People are naturally reluctant to discuss their Wills and what will happen in the event of their death. There are situations where there is no perfect solution.

By way of example, a person may have two children, one of whom has worked in the family company for 20 years helping to make it the success that it is. The company may constitute 90% of the estate. Does the Testator leave his/her shareholding to the child that has been in the business or look to split the estate equally? There is no right or wrong answer. However, if everything is discussed openly and the reasons for the decision conveyed, it cannot often prevent a dispute arising after death. It is frequently the “shock” of the contents of the Will, at a time when family members may be suffering from significant feelings of loss and upset at the death of a loved one, that fuels the dispute.

I am increasingly involved in assessing the risks of a dispute and devising strategies to minimise those risks. I discuss these issues with the person making the Will, in conjunction with the tax advisors, so that an informed decision can be made as to how to structure their estate. Indeed, I have found myself mediating with the family members to reach a solution that everyone can live with. This has so far avoided any disputes arising after death, and indeed, helped the airing of long-held grievances which has generally improved the relationships amongst the family.

SS Chesterfield Champions

We have to spread the word about the town’s job opportunities for young people, says Peter Swallow, Chair of Destination Chesterfield.

I

read an article this week from job website CV-Library that said almost half of recruiters think that engineering is the hardest sector to place candidates in. The study suggested that engineering roles are the hardest for recruiters to fill, and a separate study highlighted an unrelenting skills shortage across the UK as a whole. The picture is no different in Chesterfield, yet we have a thriving manufacturing and engineering sector here.

The study illustrated for me, yet again, how essential school leavers are for the future of Chesterfield, especially in the manufacturing and engineering sectors.

Locally, we are outperforming the national average with manufacturing representing around 20 per cent of the turnover of Sheffield City Region (SCR). If we want this to continue, we need to attract a future workforce.

Recognising this, we hosted a week-long Made in Chesterfield festival last year, which was designed to highlight the sector to young

people and encourage them to consider a career in it when they leave school. It was hugely successful and introduced more than 400 young people to the sector.

Capitalising on this success, this year, we will be dedicating an entire month – November – to Made in Chesterfield. Expect to hear a lot from engineering and manufacturing companies you probably didn’t even know existed, let alone know what they did, during November. Many have been in Chesterfield for years, providing local jobs.

While unemployment locally now stands at its lowest level for three years, youth unemployment currently stands at 16 per cent. We can all work together to make a difference to this.

We know festivals and initiatives like Made in Chesterfield and the Food and Drink Awards work in bringing together the education and business community, introducing them to each other and identifying career and employment opportunities.

Chesterfield College uses the Food and

Drink Awards every year to show off the skills of their talented hospitality students at the ceremony. Each year, the students not only make the food but also serve it and this year will be no different. It is restaurantquality food and service, adding a unique element to these popular awards. My mouth is already watering thinking about the ceremony, which is once again being held at the college’s Heart Space Building at the end of October.

It’s important we work together to reduce youth unemployment in Chesterfield.

Initiatives like Made in Chesterfield and the Food and Drink Awards are just the tip of the iceberg.Young people want a job, a place to live and a thriving social scene and we have all that right here, we just need to open their eyes to it.

This year, Chesterfield’s Chatsworth Road Festival has been shortened to four days (1-4 October) to provide a more concentrated period of activity.

Fewer days has actually meant more events, with over 120 varied activities, promotions and competitions scheduled, including Derbyshire Poet Laureate, Helen Mort, who will be popping in early evening on the Friday to the Real Ale Corner to share her verse.

The Brampton Food Market starts at 10am on Saturday and will host various pop-up festival stalls, from apple pressing to seed swapping.

Sunday Sounds will add some volume as nine venues offer live music from lunch to late, and children and animals are well catered for with Frozen parties, cupcake making, crafts, competitions and even a dog show.

Family-run business Oliholpho will be open until 9pm on the Friday evening, with 20 per cent off all new stock throughout the festival.
