We are a group of Local Tradesmen with a vast amount of experience between us, who have worked alongside each other over many years on various projects. It’s because of our individual beliefs in quality of work & commitment to our customers (and lack of these beliefs in some of the cowboys we’ve worked with in the past) that we decided to join forces and become a ‘One Call Does it All’ company. Whatever building work you need doing, with the Rothwell Tradesmen you will only have one person to deal with from the start through to completion. Below is a list of some of our services but if you need a job doing that’s not listed then please give us a call.
Kitchens & Bathrooms (Free estimates & C.A.D. design) All aspects of Joinery, Plumbing & Electricals uPVC Windows, Doors, Sofits, Facias & Guttering Full or Part Glazing Replacement Service Our tradesmen are fully qualified and certificated.

Grow Your Own in March
There’s plenty you can be sowing in March including early and second early potatoes which can be planted out now. Keep an ear out for any frosts forecast though and be prepared to cover and protect any young shoots. Sprouts, summer cabbage, broccoli, carrots, parsnips, lettuce, peas, broadbeans and turnips can all be sown directly outside and onion sets, shallots and garlic can be planted out. If you’re growing leeks and want a nice long white shaft, Terry Walton, Radio 2’s allotment expert, recommends waiting till the leeks are about a foot tall and then slipping a length of pipe over each one. This will blanch the stems. I didn’t catch what size pipe he recommended but I’d imagine 1 or 1 ½ inch pipe you can get from a plumber’s merchant. You can start to harvest purple sprouting broccoli now. Here’s an ace soup recipe: chop 1 onion, 2 potatoes and 2 garlic cloves and fry for 5 mins in butter, then add 450g broccoli, 1.2litres chicken stock and 1 tbsp lemon juice. Simmer for 15 mins, then whizz in a blender till smooth. Finally add 200ml milk and 115g crumbled gorgonzola. Superb. It’s a recipe from Sarah Raven’s Garden Cookbook which has 100s of recipes for every vegetable imaginable. It’s like 30 cookbooks in one – a real bargain and handy for the vegetable grower who’s looking for a new and tempting way of serving up a vegetable you’ve got a glut of. Back on the plot, you can complete any unfinished digging in March and that will keep you warm. The temptation is to get stuck in but experience tells me it’s better to intersperse short bouts of digging with other jobs – your back will thank you for it. If you’ve got a strawberry bed, then tidy it up by pulling off old leaves, cleaning the ground in between plant and top dressing them with fertiliser. Next to my strawberries is the last patch of land I’ve reclaimed from the couch grass. I’ve considered several plans for this spot: a bamboo plant to harvest for canes; a hazel bush to coppice for sticks; a chair to sit and gaze lovingly at my veg (yes, I know it’s sad). But my favourite plan of the moment is to dig a hole, sink in half a barrel and hope a frog comes to visit – and feast on my slugs. Incredible Edible Wakefield's Edible Gardening clubs are open to anyone wanting to learn to grow their own food or to share their food growing knowledge with like-minded people. Sessions are free with the option of buying a £2.50 veggie voucher which can be swapped for produce or edible plants we’ve grown. We run sessions in Belle Vue on a Monday, Eastmoor on a Wednesday and Ossett on a Friday. Call Andy on 07971 098510 or log on at www.incredible-edible-wakefield.co.uk for more info.
