Cloudy2Clear Windows – Service With A Smile! It’s been a crazy few months for Cloudy2Clear Windows. The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has grown rapidly as homeowners take advantage of their services. Managing Director Chris Miller feels that it’s all about service. ‘Our product is simple. If your double glazing is 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 5 year guarantee. But it’s not just about saving

people money, although that obviously helps. Many tradespeople have struggled since last year and I honestly feel that during the good times a minority perhaps didn’t focus on customer care as much as they should have done. 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 often get comments back from customers on how they really didn’t expect that sort of service which, in a way, is very sad for the service industry as a whole.’ Cloudy2Clear service Canvey Island and the surrounding area and Chris is finding

that his 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.’ 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!

beta-carotene, vitamin C and folate, it is also good at boosting your immunity to colds and flus. Brussels Sprouts - These little green veggies are especially important for pregnant woman because they’re packed with folic acid, a B-vitamin that prevents neural tube defects. Brussels sprouts are also packed with vitamins C and K as well as fiber, potassium and omega-3 fatty acids. Carrots - These orange-wonders are loaded with eye, skin and hair-enriching nutrients. They’re also the richest vegetable source of some important antioxidants, like vitamin A. And because they’re rich in vitamin C, carrots protect your cardiovascular system from damage.

8 of the best Fruit & Vegetables Tomatoes - Though technically a fruit, tomatoes are most often served like a vegetable. Full of lycopene, these beautiful red orbs (and all tomato-based products) are renowned for their cancer-fighting capabilities. Not only are they chock full of vitaminy goodness (from vitamins A to K), they also keep our blood pressure in check and help to reduce the number of free radicals in our bodies. Broccoli - Few foods measure up to the disease-fighting potential of broccoli. This cruciferous veg is packed with antioxidants that help reduce the risk of stomach, lung and rectal cancers. And because broccoli is rich in

Sweet potato - This root vegetable has dozens of anticancer nutrients like vitamin A, C and manganese. They’re also a good source of fiber and iron, so not only do they give you energy, they can also help regulate your digestive system. Bell Peppers - Whether you prefer red, orange or yellow, bell peppers are packed with dozens of hearthealthy nutrients like lycopene and folic acid. And recent research suggests digging into a pepper every day may lower your risk of developing lung, colon, bladder and pancreatic cancers. Spinach - This chlorophyll-packed type of produce is an excellent source of almost every vitamin and nutrient you need. Scientists believe a diet heavy in spinach may be able to prevent everything from heart disease to colon cancer, and arthritis to osteoporosis. Onions - These pungent smelling veggies are particularly good for people suffering from (or at risk of developing) osteoporosis. That’s because onions are loaded with a peptide called GPCS which scientists believe slows your body’s loss of calcium. Onions may also be useful in the fight against heart disease and diabetes because they’re loaded with vitamin C and folate.

to do it yourself. If you have ever tried to treat your lawn yourself, you know the potential pitfalls, including choice of fertiliser and how to correctly apply it. You may even have burnt your lawn in your endeavours. At GreenThumb, our lawn experts use the right products, in the right quantities, at the right times of the year. Our ‘No Scorch’ fertilisers do not need watering in, neither will they scorch the lawn. 3 Watch out for common lawn problems Keep an eye out for unusual patches or discolouration on the lawn, which can indicate a fungal infection. If dealt with early, this is easily remedied but, if ignored, can have devastating effects.

CREATE A LAWN TO BE PROUD OF

by Mark Keevil from Green Thumb 1 Mow it correctly The best thing you can do for your lawn is to make sure you’re cutting it properly. Many problems are caused by not mowing often enough, then cutting it too short when you do. Here’s how to get it right: Cut your lawn at least once a week in the growing season and never shorter than 2.5cm (1”). If you do allow it to get a little long, mow it in a couple of stages – never take more than a third of its length in any one cut. If we have a hot dry Summer, consider raising the height on your lawn mower a notch. By allowing the grass to grow a little longer will ensure it keeps its green colour longer. 2 Treat it correctly Feeding your lawn at the right time, with the right product, is essential. Employing a lawn care expert like GreenThumb means that you can expect great results – without the headache of having

4 Give it a drink Lawns need water, and if it doesn’t rain for two weeks (even in spring) you’ll need to give it a drink. When summer finally does arrive, look out for signs of drought stress; you’ll be able to see your footsteps when you walk on the lawn and may see yellow or brown patches. Keep off it if you can – dry and brittle grass is more likely to break. Do not cut it below 5cm (2”) and don’t cut again until you see signs it’s growing again. In dry summers, you may need to fork the worst affected areas to help water get to where it’s needed most – the roots. Continue to have your lawn professionally treated – when the rain does come, the lawn will recover more quickly. 5 Control moss Moss is the most common of lawn complaints and is most prolific between autumn and spring. Some conditions make it more likely to thrive. Lawns that are compacted due to regular usage or that sit on clay soil, which is particularly common in Essex, can’t dissipate water from the surface - and moss loves these damp conditions. Gardens with a lot of thatch are also high risk. Made up of stems, roots and leaves, thatch forms a mat on the lawn’s surface, preventing moisture, oxygen and nutrients reaching the roots.
