STEAMED UP DOUBLE GLAZING?Don’t replace the Frames... just the Panes!

Cloudy2Clear Windows – Service With A SmileIt’s been a crazy few months for Cloudy2Clear Windows. The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has grown rapidly as homeowners take advantage of their services. Managing Director Paul Spiller feels that it’s all about service. ‘Our product is simple. If your double glazing is misted up we can replace the glass at a fraction of the cost of a new window, in any type of frame, and with a new 5 year guarantee. But it’s not just about saving people money, although

that obviously helps. Many tradespeople have struggled since last year and I honestly feel that during the good times a minority perhaps didn’t focus on customer care as much as they should have done. We make sure we turn up when we say we will, do the job the customer requires and leave their house as clean as a whistle. I often get comments back from customers on how they really didn’t expect that sort of service which, in a way, is very sad for the service industry as a whole.’ Cloudy2Clear service the Upton St Leonards, Abbeymead and Abbeydale areas & Paul is finding that

his approach is a major factor in his success. ‘The truth is that it’s not just the personal satisfaction that I get from doing a good job but also it makes good business sense. I get a huge amount of business from friends and family of people I’ve done

work for, which just goes to show how much a little bit of effort is appreciated.’ So, if your windows are steamed up, broken or damaged give Paul a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!

Dave’s top tipsDave’s top tipsDave’s top tipsDave’s top tips Why lead flashings fail and how to repair them

The main reason for repairing lead flashing is due to splits and cracks in the lead, and failure in lead flashing is because of its high coefficient of linear expansion. Lead expands a huge amount in the heat, shrinks a lot in the cold, and wanders about a bit at all temperatures in between.

If this expansion and contraction are allowed to continue freely, the lead flashing will last for 100 years. Lead flashings however are usually fixed in position for one reason or another and it is this limitation to movement that causes splits and cracks. Also If the lead is not fully supported it will eventually sag and split.

When lead does split the correct way to repair it is to weld a piece of lead over the split. This is an advanced procedure which was usually in the plumbers domain of jobs. Very few plumbers these days know how to weld lead and its very different to welding other metals.

Flashing tape is the cheaper alternative, which is comprised of a very thin strip of aluminum covered on one side by a tacky bitumen layer. It is self-adhesive and can be used with a primer to help the adhesion but for lead repairs it works best when heated up. We must stress that this is not a permanent repair for lead as welding or replacement is the only permanent solution. You can however still get many good years from using flashing tape.

Be sure to check out our website at www.dstevens999.co.uk for more top tips along with some great video tutorials to help you with your DIY skills.

The benefits of massageModern life and work can cause us muscular aches and pains. Many of these can be eased by massage. Have you ever wondered why massage is good for your body?Massage works by helping the body to heal itself. Massage releases bound up muscle fibres and the toxins left there from minor damage and over work. The massaging actions also help the circulatory system carry away waste products away from the tissues. The increased circulation allows oxygenated blood and nutrients from food to flow better, so the muscles and other tissues can regenerate.People who have received massage may have also wondered why it is suggested they drink more water and avoid alcohol for 24 hours. This is because the body (mainly the liver) will need to remove these toxins and hydration with water helps the body to do just that.Finally there is the calming effect and reduction in stress brought about by this kind of nurturing touch, which has well documented benefits. So it doesn’t have to be in a spa or a physiotherapy set up, anyone, who is of the right health, can gain benefits from massage.
