STYLE YOUR HOME
Advertisement
There are great things to be enjoyed about restyling your home, whether in part or in total. One is the beauty that comes from complete rooms being totally co-ordinated in style and colour. Another is in making the most of the available space so everything can be neat, organised and easily accessed.
A fully fitted kitchen designed bespoke for your particular space can be a masterpiece of practicality. With an immense choice of worktops and finishes to complement smart new appliances, it can offer an abundance of cupboard and drawer storage to hide all those pots, pans and awkwardly shaped gadgets such as air fryers and food processors. It can also bring social space spend quality time with family or friends. A new bathroom can be utterly transforming, especially with modern wetrooms and power showers, while fitted bedrooms can bring luxury to where you need it most. Sometimes a modest space can be transformed to a highly useful home office or a playroom.
The trick to these lifechanging improvements is to find a reliable specialist, first to draw up designs in line with your personal preferences and budget, then to carry out the fitting. Most sole traders carry out the main carpentry and joinery work themselves, bringing wide experience to the role. Many have trusted trade friends to complete the electrics, plumbing, plastering, tiling or decorating, so they take care of everything and the customer doesn’t have to worry about a thing.

Editor’s Choice Lansec, Specialised
glazing for listed properties
Owners of listed buildings, rural cottages and other heritage properties can solve their draughty windows with one easy call to Lansec, specialists in bespoke secondary glazing. This niche company installs custom made high quality units which fit inside the original windows, leaving the historic appearance unaltered while adding a range of modern benefits such as cosier rooms, lower heating bills and reduced outside noise.
Planning laws concerning historic buildings and Conservation Areas are notoriously difficult and expensive to comply with, but Lansec has all the answers at cost effective rates. This local company has more than 20 years’ experience and a small team of craftsmen carpenters to ensure that each and every window fits perfectly.
The secondary glazing units are always made in the appropriate style and colour, opening horizontally or vertically and even being removable for easy cleaning. They reduce condensation, form an extra barrier against burglars and improve lives by keeping the heat in and noise out. Business owner Dave Priscott says: “We specialise in heritage properties where the design of the windows plays a vital part in the character of the property, but where single glazing causes draughts and heat loss and gives little protection against noise.
“We pay meticulous attention to detail and take pride in getting the job done right, not just getting it done quickly.”
All Lansec work is fully guaranteed and insured. Call now for a free consultation.

Railway Yarns,
keeping knitters chuffed.
Crafters from absolute beginners to innovative experts feed their hobby at Railway Yarns, a friendly, independent shop sourcing knitting wools from quality suppliers around the UK and beyond.
Opening the shop was a dream come true for Gillian Orford after she moved back to England from Australia in 2012. Gillian has been a knitter all her life and loves the range of yarns that enable her and her fellow enthusiasts to create a dynamic range of handmade clothes, toys and accessories.
At Railway Yarns, Ledbury, customers can find anything from the natural wool of Shetland sheep to luxury silk, from merino to alpaca wool and many, many more varieties, in a sumptuous range of colours, blends and textures.
Gillian has a crafting room where she holds classes to get people started in knitting, crochet, quilting, patchwork and needle felting. She also rents out the space for other people to hold their own classes or crafting get-togethers, and she plans to relaunch a ‘Knit & Natter’ group as soon as COVID restrictions end.
“Knitting is a very social, sharing kind of hobby,” she says. “We all learn from each other and there is usually cake involved.
“It is a very tactile hobby. The pleasure comes not just from the end product but from the whole process, touching, feeling and working with the yarns.”

Jordan Williams Upholstery, better than new
Are you sitting comfortably? If not, Jordan Williams Upholstery can help! This Bromsgrove based family business provides first class reupholstery of furniture from antique to modern, using both traditional and up-to-theminute techniques to put the bounce back into saggy seating.
Bespoke services range from restoring treasured older items to their original condition through to revitalising a shabby three piece suite with a smart new covering in the customer’s choice of fabric, or perhaps just handling a small repair.
The company works on armchairs, settees, ottomans, headboards, dining chairs, chaise longues, even footstools and piano stools. It can also provide complementary soft furnishings made to measure, such as cushions, curtains and seat covers to match the finished items.
Owner Jordan Cooper is the third generation of his family to be involved in reupholstery and he has been careful to maintain all the old skills of the trade as well as to learn the newer ones. That means he can be entrusted with the most valuable of antique furnishings as well as luxury quality modern ones.
“We don’t do woodwork but we do anything to do with comfort,” he says, “Including the springs, scrim, coir fibre and webbing. With antiques, we use authentic materials such as horse hair or hog’s hair.”
