Ultimate Exterior Protection - A Review

by Lee Quinn

I’ve been working with William for many years, and as I was working my way through my customers, to get feedback from their clients, I found myself taking to Mrs R who lives in Penrith.

As a business, UEP doesn’t have a set target audience. It covers domestic and some commercial businesses, and on this occasion the property was one in the Letting industry. Mrs R happened to spot William’s van, and then shortly afterwards, she saw the advert in the Eden Local!

So, we start at the beginning, which started with that first call. There was an instant reply, followed by a visit, a quote and a date. With at least 30 years’ experience in dealing with maintenance, general and cosmetic repairs associated with Lettings, Mrs R was impressed.

William’s skills but generally included some restoration, and the painting of external windows and doors. He turned up when he said he would, there were no adjustments to price, and he finished on time.

That simple question I always ask - would you recommended Ultimate Exterior Protection? “I already have!” was Mrs R’s reply, and they were in the same street.

I do like to talk to my customers regularly, and in our last chat over a coffee, William told me about a commercial job he had out of. He turned up as specified, with the right colours on arrival. A neighbour said to him, “that’s not the same colour!” but it was.

How did the work go? It included a range of

Mrs J, did mention when it came to matching the colours that William is right on the mark!

Property owners in and around Penrith are invited to get involved in the Solar Made Easy project, which can help you install solar panels on your roof.

This initiative is led by Cumbria Action for Sustainability (CAfS) and has been brought to Penrith by your local environmental group, Penrith Action for Community Transition (PACT) and Penrith Town Council.

CAfS can help you decide whether solar panels are right for your home or business. If so, they will introduce you to two local vetted installers, who will provide you with quotes.

Come and have a chat with us at our stall on May Day. Or, come along to our meeting about the project on Monday 22nd May 2023, 7-9pm, in Beaconside School, Hutton Hill, CA11 8EN.

There you can meet CAfS, who will explain how the project works, hear from local residents who already have solar panels, and fire your solar questions at the installers.

To find out more about the project, please visit: www.cafs.org.uk/solar-made-easy.

You may also want to check out the potential for solar PV on your roof, via the interactive solar PV map of Penrith, and have a read through the solar PV FAQs – you can find the links to both on the CAfS webpage.

Hospice at Home Carlisle and North Lakeland are proud to support the Penrith Lions May Day Carnival and are looking forward to attending the event to raise funds and awareness of our cause.

Hospice at Home and Penrith Lions have a longstanding partnership. Cath Coates, Fundraiser for Hospice at Home said “We have been very fortunate to work with the Penrith Lions for many years. They have supported numerous events and are always happy to help, which is greatly appreciated. Contributions have included delivering leaflets to raise awareness of our Christmas Tree Collection, marshalling Midnight Walks, assisting with Car Parking, and even manning a colour station at our Penrith Colour Run in 2016 – to name but a few! We are very grateful for their continued kindness and support.”

Hospice at Home is a local charity, established in 1997 in the Eden Valley, that cares for local patients who have a life-limiting or life-threatening illness, who wish to be cared for at home. Support is offered to the patient’s family and carers, and Occupational Therapy, Lymphoedema Support, Complementary Therapy, Bereavement Support and a

Befriending Service are also available.

Hospice at Home do receive some funding from the NHS, but need to raise approximately 80% of their running costs in order to keep the service running. This could not be achieved without the generous support of our local community who give in so many different ways. This could be through financial donations, a legacy gift in a will, donating items to our Shops, attending or organising fundraising events or gifting time to volunteer. All support is much appreciated.

Cath added “We have a thriving Shop situated in Little Dockray. Please do call in and enjoy browsing through the treasure trove of items available, and please consider donating your good quality items when you next have a clearout. The Fundraising Team also organise events in the Penrith area and further afield, and try to offer a variety of occasions to suit all interests. To keep up to date with event news please visit www.hospiceathome.co.uk or follow us on social media.”

We hope the community come and enjoy the May Day Carnival and thank you again to the Penrith Lions for all they do.
