"How do I install the last row?"..... "My room is part chipboard, part concrete. What do I do?".... "Can I install a wood floor in a kitchen?".... “I've got underfloor heating, can I have wood flooring?".... "Do I glue or float my wood floor?".... .

Just a small collection of questions that has found its way to Wood You Like's inbox over the last 5 years. After answering all questions individually the owners/directors have now turned these Q&A's in a comprehensive manual (160 pages) on installing natural wooden floorboards for diy-ers based on real circumstances you can encounter - and solve - too.
Installing a wood floor isn't rocket science - all it needs is some common sense, patience, the right preparations at the right time and of course quality materials and the right tools. Wood You Like's Installation Manual for Wooden Flooring covers it all: including tricks of the trade to install your own floor like a professional! More information can be found at www.woodmanual.co.uk
(Book is already listed on Amazon.co.uk too)
It looks like the Government will stick to the plan and change the VAT rate back to 17.5% on January the 1st - that's only 5 weeks away from now!
So, if you want to give yourself an extra Christmas bonus or present, order your natural wooden flooring from Wood You Like before the end of December 2009 - on New Years Eve we will be open for business till 5pm.
Treat yourself to the most robust floor covering that becomes even more beautiful over time, is easy to clean and anti-allergic plus keeps its value for many years to come.
Your savings on the VAT change can easily add up to £ 100.00 for a quality floor and quality installation service.

In the last few months the CBA committee has been working hard - mostly in the background, however we are sure you have noticed some busy activity in (and around) Charing's busy High Street. Where other villages seem to struggle to attract visitors, new villagers and shoppers, Charing is definitely going forward.
First of all, coming into Charing from the roundabout everyone is welcomed with our charming banner:
Charming Charing, where there is always something going on
Secondly, all CBA members (17 businesses and growing) can now be recognised by the window badge proudly stating CBA's cath-phrase: committed to the community.
Thirdly: the Charing website has a constantly growing number of readers (from in and outside the village, some even as far as France!) who want to be kept up to date on everything that is going on in the liveliest village in Kent- from activities from local organisations to interesting offers from CBA members.
The committee itself has gone through some (minor) changes, roles and responsibilities are now defined (you can download the list of contact details of the committee here - includes R&R's), becoming strong and effective. Every month there is a committee meeting to discuss/celebrate plans realised, plans in progress and future plans. You might not notice the immediate effect, but rest assured it is definitely putting Charing "on the map" in the most positive way.
Plans afoot:
Executive Cars (Charing) operates from the Village High Street and prides it self on being a Community based service, much of our business is corporate work and private clients within the area who need a personal service they can trust to be on time and offer that extra something that makes a journey to and from the Airport or London just that little more enjoyable some like to chat others to rest in the comfort of our modern cars and qualified drivers.
For our local clients it can be a trip to the Hair Dressers or an appointment at the Doctors it’s good to know that we will get them there on time and home again, and just that little help with the bags or the front door key means so much to them, to us it’s called “SERVICE” sadly something that in some professions has been forgotten.
To us every client is special whatever the distance and whatever the time we try our best to give of our best at all times. Our client base includes Students at the Canterbury University, Business people to Airports and home again to Nights out at your favourite restaurant and that all important trip to the shops.
No one day is the same and pre-booking is a must; we always try to keep our rates as reasonable as we can in these exceptional financial times for all of us.
Many of our clients say it’s nice to see a familiar face when returning from a trip or holiday at the airport we always make sure that we are at arrivals in time to meet and greet, for Corporate clients we are the face of the Company on many visitors coming to do business in the area and we endeavour to give local knowledge when asked and for our senior clients we may be the only person they see that day so we make time for them.
No job is too small or too big we have taken parcels for delivery to local shops to arranging transport for large conferences at local Hotels and offer a Livery Chauffeur Service if required to delegates.
Above all we are a local company offering a transport service and parcel service to local people and businesses give us a call for a quote any time.” NO JOB TOO SMALL OR TOO BIG”
