AUTOS BLACKPOOL LTD Stephen Hughes
A&P Autos (Blackpool) Ltd was established in October 2012 and was previously known as A&P Mobile Mechanic. Stephen Hughes the owner and founder worked solely from his van and covered the fylde coast providing break down and repairs at customer’s homes or places of work. In his van he carried all his tools and equipment to deal with the everyday problems and maintenance of all modern day cars. Stephen spent the 1st part of his career working for a Vauxhall main dealer, served his apprenticeship and built the skills to deal with modern vehicles and the technology involved with modern day cars and vans. Steve and his highly qualified staff have moved forward quickly in the development of A&P Autos. They moved into the premises on Common edge road (opposite the shovels pub) in November 2012 and are constantly striving to develop the business further to serve their customers, having recently become an MOT testing station and even more recently they have had an Air con machine installed. Steve and his friendly team run a family orientated garage and have a very good reputation around the Blackpool and Fylde coast area. This is proven by the customers who used Steve in the early days now travel from as far as Cleveleys, Fleetwood and Lytham to their south shore base for the high level quality, honest and friendly service they provide.

Unmanageable debt problems can happen quickly. Financial and personal circumstances change unexpectedly: unemployment, divorce or unexpected bills arrive, and before you realise, you are deeper and deeper in debt. You start missing minimum monthly payments, you are charged for late payments and everything can seem out of control. Afraid to open the mail and answer the telephone, your money problems escalate and stress becomes unbearable. Aspire has helped individuals for ten years. We do not lend money and are not driven by commission earned from arranging loans. We realise individual’s problems are unique: 10
our counsellers deal with the problems one to one, and give the best advice to suit your circumstances. We liaise with creditors to arrange a monthly repayment and aim to freeze interest/charges on your unsecured debt thereby reducing your monthly payments and your financial stress. Our counsellors are happy to discuss your worries in complete confidence. You inform Aspire who your unsecured debts are with, we then prepare a statement of income and expenditure, calculate your monthly surplus income to share between your unsecured creditors and negotiate an affordable monthly repayment programme with them. We make payments on your behalf, acting as a buffer between you and your creditors. We reduce the financial burden and put you back in control of your finances.
If you feel that Aspire could be of assistance, please call today, and you can start the journey to regain control of your finances, at no initial cost to yourself. Advertise Call 0800 970 7687

Carpets • Curtains The new shop was where John Harper and Fred Pye first met and worked together 40 years ago. Over the last 29 years since inception, Harper & Pye has built a first class reputation for the supply and installation of quality carpets, curtains and fitted bedrooms. No job is too small or too large.

HARPER&PYE
We prefer our customers to loan samples and try them in their own home which helps tremendously to negate mistakes.
We have a 20 page booklet you can download on interior design at our website www.harperandpye.co.uk. We are a member of the Metro Buying Group who with a £60,000,000 collective turnover allows us to purchase and sell carpets keenly.
We do a lot of domestic and contract work like the Grand Theatre Blackpool which we have carpeted twice throughout in 1992 and again in 2007. We give you very competitive prices, first class workmanship and a personal service that this family run business can best provide “we care about our name above the door”. We are very excited about our new shop which we believe gives you an unrivalled choice of quality carpets and curtains. Choosing new furnishings is made easy with help from experienced staff with free advice on colour schemes.
There is easy parking outside the door and believe we offer you the best prices and service you can achieve. We offer the price promise “if told never undersold” and throughout the year we have seasonal sales with even further discounts. “Why not try us first before you furnish your home”. You won’t be disappointed.

Skyways window repair and restoration When we experience problems with our windows or conservatories, often we bury our heads in the sand to avoid the vast expense of replacing them. Few people know that there is no need to replace old windows. Double glazed windows, whether they are uPVC, aluminium or hardwood can all be restored to ‘good as new’ if not ‘better than new’ condition. As our Lancaster customer base continues to grow through word of mouth, due to popular demand we are delighted to have expanded our team in order to provide a dedicated call-out service (no charge) for this area. Restoring your windows is not only a minor expense compared to replacement but it is also really easy. There is no mess or hassle, no need to redecorate and our teams pride themselves on leaving your home in immaculate condition. You wouldn’t spend thousands of pounds on a car and not have it serviced – windows are exactly the same. Well maintained windows will last you and give you value for money whereas ignoring problems inevitably make them worse. As part of our full service, our technicians refurbish or replace the drainage channels, weather
seals, gaskets, silicone sealants, hinges, locking mechanisms, handles and frames. When cleaning and restoring uPVC, we use our own solution designed by chemical engineers exclusively for Skyways. It’s also completely unique, aswell as restoring your uPVC back to its former glory, most importantly, it protects and preserves too. After our service, your home will look better, be more safe and secure AND it will be warmer - so you needn’t spend as much on energy bills! For your peace of mind, all our work is fully guaranteed. We can also advise you about options for Thermal Glass to give your home extra protection from the elements and to save you even more on your energy bills. If traffic noise (or your neighbours!) are a concern, we also supply and install Acoustic Glass which significantly reduces sound pollution. So if you’re thinking about having your windows replaced or you are experiencing any problems with them, please give us a call and speak to one of our team. Alternatively, visit our website for more information, our gallery and testimonials. We’re a small family run business – the majority of our work comes from word of mouth. You won’t get a better or more personal service than the one we provide. Skyways are the trusted experts; here to help with all your window concerns. So, don’t replace your old windows, repair and restore them for a fraction of the cost.
