  1. Anyone know of any bonfire/firework do's near Penistone area tomorrow night? Thanks!
  2. Help with deciding how to approach a central heating system / boiler in potential new home?? Hi there, we are first time buyers and buying a property which has gas central heating, including an Ideal combi boiler which is 12 years old (my partner couldn't find a product code unfortunately when he visited again this morning, tho he has taken a picture!). The system has been drained, as the property has been empty for 1yr+. I have a couple of questions, not being remotely clued-up on all-things-boilers... 1) What would we likely have to do to get it working again when we move in? Will a service do this? What will the likely cost be? 2) How often should this kind of boiler be replaced? This has an installation date of 1997 on it... Are we likely approaching a time after this long period where we start having problems? 3) How much should we expect to buy a new boiler? It is a very small 2 bed terrace, with radiators in kitchen, living room, 2 bedrooms and bathroom. 4) Would we likely only need a new boiler, not any work doing to pipework, etc? 5) Anyone know any reputable plumbers who would undertake the necessary work in the north of Sheffield? (Thurlstone, near Penistone, S36) Thanks so much for any help! Bit clueless on this one... :-(
  3. Hi all. We're looking at buying a house in Sheffield, but we're pretty sure it will need the slate roof redoing, though much of the slate looks like it could be reusable. It's a small 2 bed mid-terrace, but with potential difficulty in that it is on a main road, and the pavement looks (to my inexpert eye!) so narrow that the scaffolding would potentially have to be on the road, and also whilst it is only 2 storey at the front of the house it is 4 storeys at the back... Anybody able to give us a rough ballpark of how much we'd be looking at? Place needs mostly replastering too, so trying to put our costs together!!
  4. Best sarnie shop I've ever known is C Thomas on Staniforth Road in Darnall (regulars know it as 'Nigels') -went almost every weekday for 4 years when I worked 10 min away, and seriously miss it now I work in Chesterfield (that wouldn't know a proper buttie shop if it fell over one!) Looks a bit rundown from the outside (unfortunately, what doesn't look that way in Darnall), but fantastically made classic, simple sandwiches and snacks. Most importantly the banter is first class - as I've said in a review somewhere online, you know you're a regular when Nigel starts picking on you! I think they're 687 Staniforth Road looking at Yell.com, tel: 0114 249 2287. He does delivery if ordered before 11 and over £10. His hot pork & turkey with all the trimmings are spoken of in awe, yummy!!! :-)
  5. Hi there I did a couple of mass web searches for this a couple of months ago and found nothing, glad I just thought to do it again! Count me in, I'm 27 and it seems there's nowhere to learn basic football skills if you've never been taught and so can't join a 'team'. Never been to Hillsborough Park before, I'm from the south of Sheffield in Mosborough, but sod it, sounds good!! Should I PM someone?
