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.

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 Chris a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!

10 tips to get your garden ready for summer entertaining As the temperatures rise, so does the UK’s penchant for outdoor entertaining. The paddling pool comes out of storage, barbecues become an essential part of a weekend, weekday dinners are enjoyed al fresco and families and friends across the nation take advantage of every last drop of sunshine… because let’s face it – who knows how long it will last? However, if you’re planning a family get together or BBQ bash in the garden, the last thing you want is to subject your guests to a yellowed, moss-filled lawn, wilting flowers and haphazard patio. Get your garden looking its best with these top tips: 1. Feed your lawn on a regular basis with granular feed throughout the summer months. However, if you have left it a little late and need rapid results, you can use a soluble feed a few days before your party. 2. If moss is an issue, use a moss killer before raking it out. Then you can re-seed or over-seed your lawn to fill any gaps and thicken the grass. 3. Is your garden looking a little unkempt? Why not edge your lawn so that you have a nice clean line between the grass and any flower beds? It’s a quick fix that can make a big difference. You can also plant perennials in your beds to ensure that every year your garden enjoys bright splashes of colour; summer bedding plants can the be used to fill in any gaps. 4. No lawn, just patio? Not a problem – you can add colour and shape with baskets and pots filled with summer bedding plants. 5. The wetter months can leave your patio looking a little green around the gills. Give your
patio a good scrub or use a pressure washer to blast away any dirt and moss a couple of days before your guests arrive. 6. Your wooden garden furniture can also be adversely affected by the cold, wet weather. Algae can grow and although power washing your table and chairs is a short term solution, it may raise the wood’s grain and force any mould spores further into the wood. Therefore, use a specific wooden furniture cleaner with a wire brush and leave to dry before applying a protector and wood stain. 7. Prepare ahead – plant climbers as they’re the ideal camouflage, covering unsightly walls and fence panels. 8. Solar lights not only illuminate the surroundings but also add a little extra character to your party. There are plenty of different types to suit all tastes and budgets, from fairy lights to solar post lights; string lights to lanterns. 9. Flickering tea lights in jam jars and brightly coloured paper lanterns are an affordable yet highly effective way of creating a party atmosphere on the day itself. You could put the jam jars in square bottomed paper bags and use them to mark out pathways, flowerbed edges and other potential pitfalls to help your guests navigate their way around after the sun goes down. Jam jars can also be hung on tree branches; simply tie a length of string around the jar’s neck and hang them wherever you want. 10. Don’t forget the gazebo! This is the UK after all and no matter what the forecasts say, it’s always best to prepare for the worst. A pop-up gazebo is the perfect protection in case of a sudden downpour.

Tips to Prepare You for BBQ Season! Get ready for the Summer with these great tips from Jamie Oliver’s Website. Let’s face it – most of us are terrible barbecuers. If we’re not cremating sausages, we’re probably poisoning our friends. It’s strange that we pick the method of cooking that needs possibly the most concentration on days when all we want to do is kick back and have a beer. Get the right barbecue It may sound basic but there are two crucial things your burner needs if you want to make great barbecue food. The first thing is, it has to be a charcoal one. There’s nothing wrong with gas barbecues, but you won’t get any extra smoky flavour. You might as well be cooking in the oven, flavour-wise! The second thing you need is a lid. It locks in flavour, keeps the temperature constant and can be used as an extra technique. Without one you can’t do beer can chicken, or melt cheese on burgers, or smoke ribs… Without putting too fine a point on it, Jamie has some awesome kit that he uses at home right here. Use the right fuel In the UK, charcoal is usually bought in a rush from a petrol station car park as soon as the sun peeks its head around a cloud. But being prepared can make a huge difference, because the charcoal you use changes the way your food tastes. Our main man DJ BBQ, author of Food Tube’s BBQ Book, recommends lumpwood charcoal – the stuff that looks like burnt tree – because it will give the best flavour. It’s unadulterated and natural. Wait for the right moment to cook Barbecuing takes patience and concentration, in that order. You need to wait for the flames to die down – flame-grilled is a
very misleading term! You want the coals white hot – by which I mean grey and glowing. That’s the hottest and evenest heat. Get the temperature bang on Following on from that, don’t forget that what you have created is a caveman oven, so you need to control the heat just like an oven. DJ BBQ says the best way to test the heat is with your hand. Hold your hand about 12cm/5inches above the grill and see how long you can hold it there comfortably (ie. without screaming). 6 seconds = low heat 4 seconds = medium heat 2 seconds = high heat 0 seconds = Hospital. Now. You also need to control the temperature across the grill. The easiest technique is the half and half – put all the coals to one side, so you have a mega-hot side and one with no direct heat. Get the best tools We’ve all accidently lost a sausage down a grill or flipped a burger over the edge. Well, get yourself a decent fish slice, a heavy-duty oven glove and maybe even a fish grill (clamp/clip/basket thing – we’ve no idea what they are called). The one bit of kit you simply must have is a decent pair of tongs – they give you the most control, and reduce the chances of dropping anything between the grills. Make your own burgers Homemade burgers are better. Even if you make them from nothing but salt and pepper and good-quality meat, they will beat anything in the shops. Buy mince with plenty of fat, or get your butcher to give you some minced flank or chuck– you’ll get juicy, flavourful burgers whether you like them pink in the middle or cooked right through.

Prep 10 min › Cook 20 min › Ready in 30 min
1
Preheat oven to 200 C / Gas mark 6. Line a baking tray with baking parchment.
2
Heat olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat; add garlic and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Mix in white wine, honey, balsamic vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper. Simmer, uncovered, for about 3 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Take off the heat and add oregano.

Try serving these salmon fillets over a baby leaf salad, and use extra glaze for the dressing. Add chopped spring onions and julienned red pepper to round out the salad.

Swimming the Channel
for Little Haven’s Hospice Making Every Day Count - Little Havens in Daws Heath Road, Thundersley, provides specialist care for babies, children and teenagers, up to the age of 19 from across Essex, who have a life-limiting or life threatening illness. Fair Havens in Westcliff, provides specialist care for adults, from the age of 19, with lifelimiting illnesses. The hospices look after the whole family such as oneto-one support, post bereavement care and emotional and educational support for siblings. My name is Justin Pitchford, I am 39 years old and I have been a resident in Thundersley for approximately 8
years. I am most fortunate to have a healthy family, although I have undergone Gamma Knife surgery for treatment of an AVM; and Radiofrequency Thermocoagulation for Trigeminal Neuralgia. I have been an open water swimmer for approximately two years, initially using a wet suit in the summer, however within a matter of months I was persuaded to swim in skins. I have been swimming throughout the winter months, and have taken on a number of challenges to include the Parliament Hill Ice Swim Hootenanny, as well as a relay member in a 24 hour swim. I am a member of the Redcaps Swimming
Club, and together with five other club members I am taking on the challenge of swimming the English Channel in a relay team, during the week commencing 11th July 2016, in aid of Little Havens. If anyone would like to support this charitable event, please make a donation on my Just Giving page, (Just Giving Justin Pitchford) as all contributions will help Havens Hospices to continue making every day count. My fifteen year old daughter is a volunteer in the Basildon shop (all items £2.00) for Havens Hospices and a firm supporter of the charity. For more information about the good work that Havens Hospices undertake, please attend their Open Doors events at Little Havens Hospice on Sunday 26th June 2016 (11am-3pm) and/or Fair Havens Hospice on Saturday 10th September (11am-3pm).

Essex Police have launched new ways to report non-emergency crime, meaning that for the first time in the county crime can be reported online www.essex.police. uk/doitonline lets people report nonemergency crime, road traffic collisions and access a range of information and advice easily and conveniently. Online reporting for lost or found property will be added soon. Essex Police has also subscribed to the national ‘knowledge bank’ Ask The Police, also accessible at www.essex.police.uk/doitonline. Ask the Police contains answers to hundreds of often-asked questions about policing from abandoned vehicles to youth issues.

New Online Crime Reporting New online crime reporting launched by Essex Police as police station front counters close From 1st April 2016 Rayleigh and Canvey stations no longer have a public front counter.
Gareth Nicholson, Head of Communications at Essex Police, said: “With the huge growth we’ve seen in people using the internet for daily tasks like shopping as well as accessing services from councils to GPs online, it’s obvious that people need to be able to access police services online too. If the crime is happening now or you’re in danger, we still need you to call 999, but reporting a crime or a road traffic collision can now be done more conveniently than ever before. We want people who don’t need us in an emergency to think carefully about how they contact us and whether the information they’re looking for is already online because that gives officers more time to fight crime.”
