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!

Crown Thinning This process leaves the overall size of the tree as it is, but removes selected branches within the crown. The branches that are removed are often those that are dead, rubbing, split or are just defective in someway or another.

Gardening Section Crown Reduction & Crown Thinning Provided by Branches Tree Services

Crown Reduction A Crown reduction is to reduce the overall volume & visible size of a trees crown, while still maintaing the natural balance & shape of the tree. This is achieved by making cuts so that new foliage growth points are left intact, when pruning the tree (usually a meter ) . When the tree has been reduced in size no cuts should be visible from ground Crown reduction may be used to activate mechanical stress on individual branches or the whole tree, make the tree more suited to its immediate environment or to reduce the effects of shading and light loss, etc. The final result should retain the main framework of the crown, and so a significant proportion of the leaf bearing structure, and leave a similar, although smaller outline, and not necessarily achieve symmetry for its own sake. Crown reduction should not be confused with ‘topping’, an indiscriminate and harmful treatment.

Combined with increased airflow & light with in the canopy, it is a very good way to maintain the health of your tree! Crown thinning reduces the “ cluttered” appearance of a tree. Common reasons for crown thinning are to allow more light to pass through the tree, reduce wind resistance and reduce weight. For any more help, information or advice on any other tree matters please contact Mathew on 07861 957 186.

4. Follow a Training Program and Keep Records for accountability. If you really serious about your goals, it helps to establish and commit to a training plan. A program will keep you focused and allow you to set short term goals. Tracking your progress will also allow you to assess what’s working and what’s not. 5. Eat small meals frequently. Eat more frequently but in smaller portions. The more often you eat, the higher your metabolic rate. A higher metabolism burns more calories a day. Eat 5-6 smaller meals a day to ensure adequate nutrients to build muscle and burn fat.

Ten Tips for a Healthy Summer 1. Drink plenty of water and stay hydrated. Water cleanses the body and allows your body to function more efficiently. Make sure you are drinking about 16 ounces every 30 minutes, before, during, and after exercise. Some sports drinks such as PowerAid and GatorAid have special ingredients that help replenish fluids to prevent dehydration. 2. Get outdoors. Our country is beautiful and exploring the great outdoors can be a helpful distraction to the chore of exercising. Make a list of outdoor activities that you want to participate in over the summer and schedule them! 3. Establish your support network. When trying to get into shape, it is important to have family and friends who actively support you. Many times, the people in your life can sabotage your success. This means they need to respect your goals and not offer you wrong foods, or try to pull you away from your exercise program. Explain to them how important this is to you and that you need their encouragement.

6. Get creative. Too busy for fitness? Change your social and eating habits to promote healthy lifestyle changes. Instead of eating a heavy lunch, pack a lunch and go for a walk. You can sip on a protein drink or snack on fruit while enjoying a nice brisk walk to break up your stressful work day. You will feel refreshed and more invigorated for your afternoon tasks. 7. Be patient. If you took the winter off, don’t expect to reach your fitness goals in a week or two. It’s more important that you enjoy the summer while appreciating the efforts that you’re making. Focus on what you want to accomplish daily in your physical activity and the results will follow. Getting fit takes time and with commitment, you will reach your goals. 8. Breathe during exercise. When exercising, there is a proper way to breath that will allow adequate amounts of oxygen into the system and providing better endurance. For example, marathon runners will tell you that they use a rhythm when running that allows them to run longer and healthier than normal breathing. 9. Love yourself. Accept the fact that we are all built differently and that love comes from within. Always love yourself for who you are inside. As long as you are eating right, exercising, and doing your very best, you will be healthy and happy. Do the best you can and love the inside beauty more than the outside beauty. 10. Remember to Have Fun. Keep in mind that the summer is supposed to create some of the best memories of the year. So relax and enjoy your activity and let’s get healthy one tip at a time!

The attraction also includes a visitors’ centre, a children’s play area, re-developed business units, offices for rangers, a bike hire shop and additional facilities for The Salvation Army to expand its valuable work with vulnerable local people. The Hadleigh Legacy Project is situated on Hadleigh Park, serving communities and visitors from all over the UK. Pick Everard were appointed as project and construction managers and quantity surveyors for the development. Gary Sullivan OBE, chairman of Active Essex County Council, said: “We were incredibly proud to host the Olympic mountain biking events and at the time we promised to deliver a legacy beyond this.

PICK EVERARD DELIVERS £6.6M OLYMPIC LEGACY VISION

“With the site now open we are very proud of what has been achieved. Hadleigh Park is a world-class sporting facility, which we hope will be visited by mountain bikers and families alike for many years to come.” Paul Darlow, regional director at Pick Everard, said: “This has been a fantastic scheme to deliver. It has been a real privilege to be involved in an Olympic legacy project and be part of a vision to deliver outstanding facilities to the broader Essex community.

WORK on a £6.6million Olympic legacy project creating a haven for mountain biking, cycling and for families has been completed by independent management, design and construction consultancy Pick Everard.

“We have worked closely with our client throughout the process to ensure the scheme meets their needs and is an attraction which local people will use and be truly proud of.”

Hadleigh Park in Essex hosted the exhilarating London 2012 Olympic mountain bike events. Pick Everard has been working on behalf of its client Essex County Council to maximise the use of the site for current and future generations.

Alastair Hamilton, partner at Pick Everard, said: “We are a multi-professional practice and regularly work across a range of disciplines including project management, quantity surveying and more.

The spectacular mountain bike course has been retained but adapted for use by members of the public, creating a legacy for mountain biking. But the development has continued far beyond this breathing new life into Hadleigh Farm and Country Park with an 18km network of walking and cycling paths and trails, connected to the mountain bike course.

“This is an exciting scheme, regenerating the local area and ensuring this is a site which has a long-lasting legacy.”

The network is at the heart of the project improving access across the 500 hectare Hadleigh Country Park and Hadleigh Farm for cycling, mountain biking, walking, running and for horse riders.

Pick Everard has delivered the scheme through the SmarteEast framework and provided quantity surveying on both the network of trails and design of the visitor centre. Pick Everard provided construction project management on the network of trails in conjunction with Pearl Contractors and project management on the design and build of the visitor centre in conjunction with Morgan Sindall.
