We only do a full total replacement with all existing wood removed, we do not cap on top. We only use grade A lead free products. We are free foam registered installers. We are a family business with no Sub-contractors. We do a good job at a realistic price. We only accept payment on completion on 100% customer satisfaction.
The roofline area is the most exposed and vulnerable feature of any property. It is ravaged by all weathers and is susceptible to hazards such as blocked gutters which can cause timber fascias to rot quickly. There is, thank goodness, an answer to this problem in the form of a permanent cure. Not only will it alleviate the worry of expensive replacement of rotten timbers, but also eliminate the need for repainting every few years.
We cover all of Northamptonshire, Oxfordshire, Warwickshire

a magical adventure for LWAD Students... As you read this 29 of our most talented students will be performing on stage at Disneyland Paris. Having successfully auditioned they have rehearsed tirelessly.
Our recent show was a complete sell-out. We compete in festivals and perform at charity events. Watch out for us at the Leamington Lights in November showcasing our Disney performers. From 2 years and up (I think our oldest student is nearly 90!) there is something to suit everyone. Call 01926 887780 to book a free trial.

Unusual, Unique & Boutique A SLICE OF QUINTESSENTIAL ENGLAND This summer, swap the bustling city streets for the peaceful tranquillity of the Warwickshire countryside. Carved out of Victorian farm buildings, Hatton Shopping Village is a place of very special charm. The carthorses, cows, granary and dovecotes that used to occupy the buildings have given way to a bustling community of traditional and contemporary shopkeepers - making it the perfect place for shoppers to treat themselves and their friends. At Hatton, there is that timeless tranquillity and friendly courtesies for which the English countryside is so famed - whether taking a stroll along Hatton’s famous ‘stairway to heaven’ on Grand Union Canal, or big chains simply don’t stock, alongside a farm shop enjoying a delicious afternoon tea at one of its quintessentially British eateries - The Spinning Jenny or stocking delicious meats, chutney’s and jams. the Café Lavender Blue. The newest additions of Edinburgh Woollen Mill and Brantano Shoes bring a bustle of big brands providing further choice for shoppers, without straying too far from the special British feel for which Hatton is renowned. No surprise that people come to shop, stay to wander and make a summer’s day of it.
With roots as a craft centre, some of the original tradesmen still remain, and those who love bespoke gifts tend to look no further than John Garland Taylor or Alan Wright jewellers or Lorna Loves gifts and accessories. Then there’s Hatton’s traditional sweet shop, offering everything from homemade fudge to luxury Belgian chocolates. The centre’s penchant for the unique continues at Ranson’s Garden Centre, with specialist plants that the

Their future is in your hands Kids’ Marathon aims to give school children the opportunity to complete a marathon throughout the course of the school year by running laps of a course once or twice a week during their lunch break. The concept is based on personal achievement rather than competition - this encourages all children, regardless of fitness ability to take part by running as much or as little as they choose. New Government Childhood Obesity Plan from 18th August 2016 states that: “At least 30 minutes should be delivered in school every day through active break times …” “Physical activity will be a key part of the new healthy schools rating scheme, and so schools will have an opportunity to demonstrate what they are doing to make their pupils more physically active.” Kids’ Marathon is a sustainable, achievable and affordable solution.
