Nothing is worse than getting all set to assemble a chair only to find out that you don’t have the right pieces or there are some special screws missing.When you have everything in order, find plenty of space for you to assemble the unit, grab the required tools and get to work! We recommend having an image of the end result of the unit to aid you during the process.

Give us a call and we’ll assemble it for you or simply give you a second pair of hands.

Flat pack furniture has more advantages than ready assembled furniture. Even though flat pack furniture can be a big headache and takes time to put together it is much cheaper than ready-to-use furniture and it’s a lot easier to transport and carry into the house. Flat-pack furniture can also be easily painted in various colours, making this type of furniture highly customisable.

In case you are thinking of assembling your living room furniture on your own, remember a few steps before starting. Firstly, plan out the whole process methodically by reading the instructions carefully and making sure you have all the items and tools necessary for the assembly. In case the instructions state that it is a two-person assembly, don’t do it by yourself as it could end up really badly. Then, arrange some free space and start assembling the unit.

Curtains are both great in the wintery months or during summer. Blackout curtains are great during the warm days of summer (when after a long winter of complaining about how cold it is, everyone decides to start complaining about how warm it is – we all know it). Even though curtains are great to cool off your room when it is too hot outside, they can also be used to help insulating rooms during the winter, preventing the warmth to get out, keeping your home warm all winter.

Has the little one started crawling or maybe started walking? This is a crucial time to babyproof the house if you haven’t already. As soon as they start moving, they will want to start exploring every little inch of the house. Baby proofing your home will prevent any serious accidents from happening.

It’s very important to make sure your little ones don’t open cupboards with dangerous objects or washing liquids. To ensure this doesn’t happen we would recommend locking cupboards and cabinets with a childproof lock or door stopper.

The kitchen is by far the most dangerous room for a child, however, it is the most fascinating room for the little one. Installing safety gates would be a good option to completely block off the child from getting in. Otherwise, there are other ways you can make the kitchen a safer place, from putting away knives and glasses and ensuring that their little hands can’t reach the stove and dishwasher.

Keeping your home cosy and warm during the winter is very important. However, if there are draughts in your home, it means that warm air is getting out and cold air is getting inside. There are various ways to draught proof your home, starting with finding where the cold air is coming from – it could be unwanted gaps in your windows, letterboxes, chimneys, skirting boards, cat flaps or cracks in the walls.

In addition to making sure these areas are sealed to cover any draughts, other areas can also be problematic, including the gaps in between floorboards and the bottom of doors which should be covered with a draught excluder.

There are other methods to winter-proof your home, for example, putting up curtains can help insulate rooms, keeping the house warm during the winter and cool during the summer. Having proper insulation in your loft and wall cavities is very important as some of the heat in a house is lost through the walls and loft. Additionally, to make sure your boiler will always be working, we would recommend having a professional servicing your boiler annually – nobody wants a freezing shower on a winter day.
