We'v sustained some minor storm damage (fascias and soffits) during the recent strong winds. Can anyone recommend a reliable local firm to undertak roof repairs.

Can anyone recommend plumber to repair my toilet. It will not flush. I think it needs a new diaphragm fitted.

Is there anywhere locally that does stretching of an (already painted) oil canvas onto a wooden frame?

Pete has just popped to see Ralph, one of the staff said " He has had more cards than all the other residents put together".
I am sure he and they will know how much we all appreciated his service and input into village activities. We certainly appreciated his deliveries to us from the Combermere during Covid.

I'm hoping to find a book club in the village, I believe there is one which meets on the last Thursday of the month. Unfortunately the phone number I took down is not right so I can't get in touch!

Re. the Editors' comments in today's AOL on "Managing the Buy/Sell section", I'd just like to say that it's so easy to enjoy AOL daily and take it for granted that fresh articles just appear each day. But the Editors still have to be on the ball and keep tabs on everything. So, on behalf of all of us who, before anything else in the morning, have a quick glance at AOL to keep in touch with what's going on locally, may I thank the editors for their hard work and their dedication in keeping up the standards and principles that Bob Cartwright set when he first proposed the Audlem website.
Thank you and a Merry Christmas to you all.

I came through end of November and the road to woore was closed . Please could you tell me if this road is now open . I'm travelling Xmas eve .
Many thanks

Hi Jane
I have an upright fridge freezer if you need it please get in touch
Thanks

All sorted now, many thanks

Just to let you know that I have received a reply from the PCC Mr John Dwyer who has forwarded my letter onto the Chief Constable's office who retains primacy for operational matters such as this. An assessment of my request can then be made and a response provided subject to any 'operational sensitivities'. I thank Mr Dwyer for his response. I have also received a reply from our MP. "Mr. Timpson has requested a status update of the police investigation you reference and an indication of timescales for its conclusion. Further enquiries have also been made with the Monitoring Officer at Cheshire East."
Is there an enterprising soul in the community who would care to open a book on which hole gets filled first; the 'Green Lane watercourse' or the 'parish council funds diversion.' Happy Christmas, but which one!

Integrated fridge struggling to meet temp. Ideally not one of the larger suppliers. If you have a small freestanding for sale or rent over Xmas I'd be interested to hear from you. Thanks

It is important that fuel using appliiances have a periodic flue gas analysis carried out using a currently certified flue gas analyser. This is to ensure that combustion efficiencies are optimised and hazardous fumes are not being produced.
I found that Ellisons Heating could replace the oil nozzle, carry out the maintenance, inspection, testing and certification cheaper than I could hire a suitable, certified flue gas analyser.
If you know of anyone who can loan me free of charge an acceptable analyser then please let me know.

Thanks for the guidance and numbers! Much appreciated Mark!

Interesting to see the number of people who have oil fired AGAs and wonder how much it is costing them for a service which can be carried out by anyone with a little bit of DIY knowledge. I've read horror stories of people being asked up to£800, though, no doubt, that is probably the exception. Further to my earlier contribution, I became fed up with ever increasing prices to have my AGA serviced and found a very good website, run by former AGA service engineers, where I received full and clear guidance on how to do the job myself for little cost. Not only do they provide guidance and information and are easily contactable for advice if you hit a snag, but they also provide a wide range of replacement parts and consumables. If anyone is interested try contacting them via www.agadiyservice.co.uk or info@agadiyservice.co.uk. I've done my own servicing since 2011 and never looked back and probably saved a small fortune into the bargain..

Mark, I have, for many years, servicedmy own oil fired AGA which is a relatively straight forward thing to do and I could give you the instructions on how to do it. It all depends on what you mean by "Getting yours up and running " .

We use Andy from A-gas Heating. Phone no. 07832 279586.

Hi Mark Dave Major based in Adderley has been servicing my oil-fired Nobel for many years now he is a top man, his number is 01630 638588

Try Peter Blurton 07540-976874. We have used him for over twenty years, excellent. Former AGA employee and reasonable prices.

Try David Major, based in Adderley. 07930 346638

We use Tom Barnes 07831 824486 – he is very good.

We are looking for a local Aga engineer who can service our oil fired Aga and get it up and running. Any help would be much appreciated.

I have been to see Ralph today in Clarendon House along with Maureen Mayne.
We have been a few times to see him and he expresses great delight and is aware of who we are.
His sons have put a lovely tree up in his room and he has a few cards.
I have so much admiration and respect for Ralph . He has great strength of mind and I'm sure he would love to receive Christmas Greetings from the village he loves and did so much for.
