Cloudy2Clear Announce Trusted Trader Partnership Consumer champions Which? have now joined the thousands of customers who recognise that Cloudy2Clear Windows really are a business that you can TRUST. The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has received the coveted ‘Which Trusted Trader’ status after going through a rigorous accreditation process entirely focussed on customer service.

Group Managing Director Marcus McGee believes that Which? have endorsed Cloudy2Clear’s long standing company policy of delivering the highest standards possible at all times. ‘Our service is simple. If your double glazing has misted up we can replace the glass at a fraction of the cost of a new window, in any type of frame, and with a new 25 year guarantee. But it’s not just about saving people money, although that obviously helps. Whilst a number of tradespeople

perhaps don’t focus on customer care as much as they should do, we make sure we turn up when we say we will, do the job the customer requires and leave their house as clean as a whistle.

Locally Cloudy2Clear service Banbury & surrounding villages and manager James Miller agrees that this approach is a major factor in his success. ‘The truth is that it’s not just the personal satisfaction that I get from doing a good job but also it makes good

business sense. I get a huge amount of business from friends and family of people I’ve done work for, which just goes to show how much a little bit of effort is appreciated as both my customers and, obviously a body as nationally important as Which? now recognise.’

So, if your windows are steamed up, broken or damaged give James a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!

Away on Holiday?

Top tips before you go!

Driving...

M

ake adjustments – Many back problems are caused or aggravated poor driving posture.

If you’re driving to your holiday destination, ensure the seat position is slightly backwards so that it feels natural and that your elbows are at a comfortable and relaxed angle. Adjust the base of the seat to make it horizontal and if necessary fill in the rear of the seat with a folded towel.

Relax – Relax at the wheel, as this reduces stress on the spine and allows your seat to take your weight.

Keep an eye on the clock – Stop and stretch your legs (and arms!) at least every two hours.

Clench! – If you are stuck in traffic, exercise in your seat. Try buttock clenches, side bends and shoulder shrugs and circles.

Keep it lose – Don’t wear tight clothing as they will restrict your movement.

Flying...

Flying high – Avoid alcohol before and during the flight as this will cause you to dehydrate and, in turn, exaggerate muscle pain. Drink plenty of water instead.

Air-exercise – You will be restricted to your seat for most of the flight, but avoid stiffness by doing shoulder shrugs, buttock clenches and foot circles. Take the opportunity to get up and stretch your legs whenever you can.

Avoid ‘travelators’ – Get your joints moving quickly after a flight and walk to arrivals rather than the easy option of a moving walkway.

Push, don’t pull! – Many wheeled cases encourage you to pull the case handle from behind, but this makes the upper body/back twist. If possible, push the case in front of you or use a trolley making sure you choose one from the stack

which does not have ‘wonky wheels’, as keeping it on track will not do your back any good!

At Your Destination...

Bed down – When you get to your hotel, if your bed is too hard ask the hotel staff for a spare duvet or blanket to put between you and the mattress. Firm beds are not always best, but it is easier to soften a hard bed than make a soft bed harder.

Lounging around – If you’re heading to the sun loungers in search of the perfect tan, try not to lie on your tummy with your back and neck arched back when reading your book or magazine. Put the reading matter on the floor, so that you can view it over the edge of the sun bed; this should allow you to keep your head and neck in a more neutral position.

If you would like any further advice or a body-check up before or after your holiday why not give the body experts Chestnut Osteopathic Practice a call on 01295 713666.

Problem dog?...

No problem! years ago I Many took on a dog that

had lots of behavioural problems and after taking advice from various sources I made lots of changes. Over the next few months the improvement was so dramatic that I wanted to learn more about how dogs learn. I helped out at a local dog training club and after some time found myself dealing with “problem dogs” on a regular basis. This became my specialist area and as a result I was offered a 3 year stint on BBC’s Dog Borstal.

I now help owners with dogs displaying aggression towards people and other dogs, separation anxiety, destructiveness, fear, over excitement and many other problems.

be resolved.

The relationship between a happy dog and their owner is a wonderful thing.

Just ask my six...

During a Behaviour Consultation I will explore the reasons behind the unwanted behaviour (the cause). Once I have done this we can change things that have an affect on the way that the dog behaves (the symptom).

I visit lots of owners who have had ‘help’ previously from other behaviourists or trainers but are still having problems. Failure in the past does not mean that the problem cannot

For those owners who are about to get a puppy I also do ‘Puppy Home Visits’ which allow the owner to get everything right from the start to avoid problems in the future. Puppies are

learning machines, however they learn the bad stuff as quickly as they learn the good.

The relationship between a happy dog and their owner is a wonderful thing. Just ask my six...

Thinner’s A Winner In Worktops Kelly Ampatzi Ball explains the benefits of Agglomerate for a stunning new look...

A

gglomerate is the fancy-sounding name Granite Transformations applies to its kitchen worktop and bathroom surfaces. It’s beautiful, tough, durable and much thinner than other materials like granite, marble, engineered stone or solid synthetics, but equals or exceeds them in technical performance terms. To prove it, Granite Transformations offers an unrivalled lifetime material warranty. So, with the millionth agglomerate already installed worldwide, what makes this distinctive material a winner in the kitchen and bathroom?

Lightweight Aglomerate is at least two-thirds lighter than other materials, so

needs less reinforcement and can be installed vertically and horizontally.

Slimline – produced and fully-sealed only a quarter of an inch thick, it fits right on top of existing surfaces without adding depth or substance.

Tougher – the slimline profile doesn’t compromise strength and, unlike granite slab, agglomerate survives the droppedbowling ball test without breaking.

Lasting – Granite Transformations’ agglomerate retains its luxurious good looks for so long, it is guaranteed against a lifetime of wear and tear.

Easycare – unlike granite, marble and engineered stone, which need regular sealing and maintenance, agglomerate just requires a wipe over with a damp cloth.

Resistant – agglomerate is

certificated to be highly resistant to liquids, chemicals, scratches, impact and burns and is harder than natural materials.

Greener – made using a high percentage of recycled content like post-consumer glass and recovered granite and quartz, agglomerate is green by design.

Affordable – agglomerate is fitted over existing worktops and other surfaces, making it cheaper, easier and less disruptive to install, with less waste.

Versatile – fit it on top of worktops, vanities or wash stands, on floors, stairways and pool surrounds, as splashbacks, shower liners and panels.

Beautiful – made with Italian granite, quartz or recycled glass, it’s beautiful in black, refined in earthen tones, brilliant in white and bold in primary colours.

www.expressadvertisers.co.uk www.express-press.co.uk t:01926 815935

But perhaps the biggest appeal of Granite Transformations agglomerate is that it will be measured-up, made off-site and installed by our factory in Banbury. What’s more, the expert, factory-trained fitters ensure a consistently high standard of workmanship and provide final proof that thinner’s a winner.

...beautiful, artificial lawns without the upkeep!

Clean and safe ■ No mowing ■ No weeds No more muddy patches Hard wearing ■ Unaffected by weather/uv stabilized Green and usable all year round ■ Perfect for pets Finding an artificial grass product that has the look of natural grass was never an option until recently. But with developments in the last 4-5 years we can now offer you a choice of looks that will give you the dream lawn all year round. We can even fit a carpet that will look like a freshly mowed lawn in the middle of summer with a mixture of green fibres and beige to give that thatched look. We use a new monofilament fibre so the feel of the carpet is soft to the touch and friendlier to animals.

...perfect for ch ildren’s play areas!
