  1. I don't know a fence maker in the area but i am sure Wickes was supposed to be opening soon on the Crystal Peaks Drakehouse shopping centre. Last time i used them they had good quality fence panels in stock and were more reasonable on price than some of the other large outlets i visited. If you need custom fencing though i'd do a quick search on google and see what comes up...:)


  2. For chair covers hire in sheffield i'd try youcan hire. They are at the main crossroads in Eckington (rotherham road?) just down the hill from Morrisons supermarket. As well as chair covers we also hired the matching chair bows as well as the coloured table linen. We could not believe the difference it made to the standard hotels chairs and tables, it totally transformed them and made the reception look really beautiful.:)


  3. I'd take any unwanted calor gas bottles to Gas & Hire on Shepcote lane in sheffield (near to the sheffield arena).

     

    My experience with calor bottles is you can get a deposit refunded on them but only if you have the original receipt from when you first rented the bottle.

     

    If you don't need the bottles anymore (and if you don't have the deposit receipt) the easiest option in my opinion is to simply give them back to this stockist - and then the problem has gone!

     

    They will take them off you with no questions asked:)


  4. Just wondering if anyone out there would bother to take their ironing to a local 'shop' to get it done, rather like a dry cleaners? I love ironing and could do it all day ( Yes i'm weird!).

    I'd love to do something like this as a business, and would also offer a pick up and drop off service, but would a 'shop' setting work? All opinions welcome, thanks!

     

    We'd use the help of an ironing shop in sheffield as long as it was pretty local to us. Mainly for shirts and trousers that are needed for work.

     

    The only ironing shop we know of though is at the wrong end of Sheffield in Totley where as we need something close to Waterthorpe, perhaps at mosborough, or possibly halfway / killamarsh area.

     

    Thinking about it, we would probably use a collection service if available as long as the business could collect our clothes after office hours when we are at home, or even on a weekend.

     

    It wouldn't have to be a shop, just a local business service so we don't have to iron as much ourselves.

     

    Clangeroo - is the waterthorpe area in your local collection area?


  5. I think it can also depend on the individual staff present at the tip on the day you are visiting.

     

    Having recently turned up with a transit pick up at the Beighton tip (one i borrowed off a builder neighbour) i had no problem disposing of several household items and bags of rubbish. The pick up was signwritten and it was obvious i was not dumping building materials or rubble! The staff at the Beighton tip just used their heads and let me in.

     

    You watch though - next time i'll probably get refused and have to get a permit


  6. You could try MF Hire on east bank road.

     

    I know they normally charge for either a one day hire or for one week as a rule, but they would probably do a special deal for you.

     

    Alternatively you could consider renting a large angle grinder instead if it will do the job. Being an electric tool (which in my experience are cheaper to hire than petrol power tools) it could work out the cheapest route to getting the job done !

     

    :roll:


  7. We're off to the Ha Ha bar in Sheffield on New Years Eve 2009!

     

    Booked a 3 course dinner for £29.95 each (but will probably spend loads on drinks between the 4 of us - cocktails, shorts, champagne etc).

     

    They have told us they will have a charity auction night on! Unsure what this means! Cheap items for sale? Cheap nice items to buy? I've no idea - but this is what the wife has booked!

     

    No matter what the food will be good and we should not get kicked out before 12.30am.

     

    Happy new year to all Sheffield party go'ers!:)


  8. I've always found it's best to ring at least three suppliers to get quotes on a like for like basis. ie: compare a 13kg refill bottle of butane gas (as used in most cabinet heaters) from perhaps calor gas, a garden centre, and a tool hire shop. Or if its a smaller 7kg cylinder compare that exact size in the same way.

     

    I usually buy mine from either morrisons petrol station at crystal peaks or at mf hire which i think is either queens road or eastbank road.

     

     

    Sorry - for some reason i always refer to morrisons at crystal peaks, you are right i mean the petrol station at their halfway store:)


  9. Everyone should be aware especially campers that a large bottle of BUTANE is £27 in CCC near Bramhall lane and the same bottle is £18 in tool hire

    at Wolsley Rd,Queens Road junction.

  10. does anyone know where I can get some ivory chair covers for my wedding please that are good value?:huh: :huh:

     

    You could try Youcan Hire for chair cover hire (they also supply chairs, tables, and coloured table linen as well as chair covers). Based in Sheffield at the crossroads at eckington near the mossbrook pub. As well as offering a delivery service you can collect from them as well which will bring the hire price down. youcanhire.co.uk
