THEQUALITYMAGAZINEFORSHEFFIELD&NORTHDERBYSHIRE

Less than half of adults in the United Kingdom have a Will. Making a Will is one of the most important jobs you will ever do.

A Will allows you to:

Specify and be certain as to who will inherit your money, property and possessions when you die

Appoint guardians to care for your children who are under 18

Ensure that your children’s inheritance is looked after for them until they are mature enough to look after it themselves

Ensure that your children from a previous relationship receive the share of your wealth that you intended for them even if you have remarried

Reduce inheritance tax liability

Make life easier for your family when you pass away

Have peace of mind knowing that your affairs are in order

Simply rejuvenate your drive or patio areas or even create new ones.

Resin bound systems are also permeable – they allow surface water to drain through complying with Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS)

“Lovely family firm, all the staff both in the office (especially Lauren), and the workmen that did the work were easy to deal with and dealt with queries quickly. Leah designed a lovely kitchen and utility with everything we wanted and nothing we did not want. She made some suggestions we had not thought of and it looks great and is very much user friendly.”

~ Dee Cavanagh S17

“Excellent service, excellent staff and AMAZING kitchen! My husband and I are so chuffed with our new kitchen/diner. We had two walls knocked through, a new wall and door built and a new kitchen installed. We could not be happier with the whole process from start to finish. Everyone at DKD are professional, helpful and genuinely seemed to care about giving us the best results.”

~ Francesca Makey S11
