Energy Performance CertificateAsk me how energy efficient my home is and I wouldn`t have a clue. Sure, it has double glazing but I should get the loft insulated really because heat must rise straight through the roof. One way that I`d know how efficient my home was performing would be to ask a trained assessor to provide it with an
Energy Performance Certificate. If I ever decide to sell the property I`ll have to pay for an
Energy Performance Certificatethat I could show to any potential buyers. Not so long ago this piece of paper would have been included within a home information pack but HIPS have just been suspended by the new government. Home owners still have to provide potential buyers with an
Energy Performance Certificatethough, if they decide to sell their house. The certificates aree cheap to buy and they can be completed within 12 hours of an energy assessor visiting the property. They are easy to order and this can be done online or over the phone. I`m guessing that my home would be fairly average when it came to energy efficiency and the only way that I`ll know for sure would be to pay for one of the energy certificates.
Photographer ManchesterMum has no idea what we are giving her as part of her Christmas present this year. For ages she has been asking me for an up-to-date photograph of both of my daughters and being the forgetful type I never get around to getting this done. All is not lost for dear old mum though because we have booked a session with a
Photographer Manchester who specialises in prime portrait photography. Looking at the past work of the
Photographer Manchester you can instantly teell that they are highly proficient at their work. The photography takes place inside a relaxed and friendly studio which should help to put our two girls at ease. The plan is to have a large family portrait printed and this will be presented to mum inside a trendy frame. She has no idea that we are planning this little surprise and we dearly hope that she likes her Xmas treat this year. Whilst we are at it we`ll also ask the
Photographer Manchester to print us off a family portrait and we can display this in our own home. Mum will certainly be surprised with her new picture and once she has it, she won`t have to keep asking me for a current photo of our girls.
Shop FrontsI took a trip to the Trafford Centre last Saturday. My mission was to buy a new shirt and tie to wear for my mate`s upcoming wedding. I like shopping in large shopping malls like the Trafford Centre or Mead
Polished PlasterInstead of sticking with tiles on new interior projects
Polished Plaster makes a handsome alternative. It might sound like it`s a new product but this type of plaster has been with us for some time. Way back in 900BC this type of material was first being made and used for decorative reasons. There are plenty of choices in this plaster range it all depends on the look that you want to achieve. From plaster that has a pitted appearance to create a natural look, to plaster that has the look of travertine tiles; it`s amazing what types of finish can be created with this substance. Designer bathrooms will look stunning when the
Polished Plaster is used and it won`t be affected by the water at all. Wax is used to protect areas that can get wet so that the plaster continually looks amazing all of the time. Tiles are nice enough but
Polished Plaster looks just as good, if not better than the more common types of surface products.
