Welcome Hi all,
There’s so many carnivals and events coming up in the local area, it’s so hard to keep track of them all. We’re so lucky to live in a thriving community where there’s always things to do. We’re aiming to get our facebook page up to date with lots of these events so ‘like’ our page to see what’s going on near you. Likewise, if you’d like to promote a local event, drop me a line or message me either through email or facebook and I’d be glad to ‘Spread the Word’ for you. Lisa Walker - Editor Tel: 01926 815935 info@expressadvertisers.co.uk www.expressadvertisters.co.uk www.facebook.com/expressadvertisers

Hawkesford
Ranking No1 for customer reviews!
“
We bought our house in Southam through Hawkesford. Our first viewing was with Ginny who was very relaxed and above all honest. We had our second viewing and had the same unrushed experience. During our buying and moving period, all our important information came from the Hawkesford office. All in all they did themselves proud and made our move as stress free as it was.

Handy Hints For
A Kitchen Makeover Granite Transformations offers six styling tips for a swift kitchen makeover
Nothing dates a kitchen like worn worktops, damaged doors, stained grouting, cracked tiles and burned surfaces. But renovating your kitchen and bringing the décor bang up‑to‑date needn’t cost the earth and could add upwards of 5% to the value of your property. To give you an idea, home makeover experts Granite Transformations have put together some handy hints for updating your kitchen décor.
Layout – if you’re comfortable with your layout and its familiar oven-sink-fridge work triangle, then don’t rip everything out and fit totally new units, with all the expense and disruption that entails. Instead, reface your work surfaces with composite granite, quartz, recycled glass or porcelain composites that fit right over existing worktops and replace cabinet doors with new made‑to‑measure fittings, leaving the underlying carcases intact. This also means no rewiring or new pipework, cutting installation costs by more than half.
Storage – even though you’re happy with the basics, your accumulation of gadgets and materials might make extra storage a bonus. Refaced work surfaces and cabinetry enable a new central island unit, extra wall cabinets or a full-height storage cupboard to be integrated seamlessly into your new design. There is also the option of glass-fronted cabinets and drawers for displaying prized knick-knacks or extending a run of base cabinets into a rightangle peninsula end, complete with cantilevered worktops for a breakfast counter.

Appliances – with the saving you enjoy from a makeover rather than installing a new fitted kitchen, you should be able to splash out on selected appliances, sinks, taps and accessories to set off your updated décor. The beauty of standard-sized kitchen units and white goods is that new items can be dropped into place with little fuss. So investigate new cooking technology like steam ovens, induction hobs, flush‑mounted cookers and built‑in microwaves, as well as undermount ceramic bowls and, going back in time, a deep butler’s sink
Practicality – if you have laboured in the past with resealing, sanding, treating and polishing stone, timber and laminate worktops, then now is the time to choose a modern, maintenance-free composite material that is nonporous, flame‑resistant and withstands stains, scratches, cuts, burns and knocks. Today’s agglomerate granite, quartz and recycled surfaces look like luxurious natural stone, but need just an occasional wipeover to keep their sheen and come in a wide choice of colours.
Splashbacks – you’d be surprised how a decorative, yet practical splashback can enhance or transform the look of a kitchen. Choose a regular upstand in the same material to run around the worktops, protecting against dirt and bacteria, a half-height glass mosaic splashback that adds texture and sparkle, or perhaps an extravagant, full wall panel in large tiles or seamless sheeting. Modern, slimline agglomerate and polyurethanebacked mosaics will fit over existing tiles and surfaces, making fitting a breeze.
Colours – your décor is a reflection of your personality and lifestyle, so a kitchen makeover gives an opportunity to ditch unfashionable or eccentric finishes and explore fresh colour and style directions. Black worktops can become white or bold colours, timbergrain cabinet doors can be transformed into high gloss acrylic and you can add splashes of brightness with glass mosaic panels or an island unit in a contrasting colour. Remodelling means the choice is yours.
Granite Transformations operates showrooms in Banbury and Bicester, with their own expert designers and fitters who can carry out these kitchen makeovers and more, often in just one day.
