From The Editor

National news is often depressing

and what we as humans allow to
happens to others less fortunate
than ourselves is truly depressing.
I personally will not be holidaying
in Thailand or any of those countries
which can stop the poor unfortunates
fleeing Burma landing on their shores.
But it is not all at a distance slave labour is happening
here in North Norfolk!
It was brought to my attention last
week, an acquaintance trying to get
back into employment worked at a
local cafe for a day as training! not
that much training was given and
then told at the end of the day she
was not suitable and given no pay
for her days toil as it was training!
(I spoke with NNDC & ACAS and
with out a long drawn out procedure
which a law student would find very
difficult, there is no one who wants
to know, as ACAS stated there is no
employment police! well I think
there should be)
I had a call that the catching, caging
and dispatching of birds is to aid all
of the environment, not just the
shooting fraternity, the caller may
be correct but I think nature, if left
usually balances all in the end.

To finish on a happier note two

jackdaws have returned to my
friends chimneys.
I am afraid that many our our Crab
Tales readers will be disappointed
to see that there is not a single joke
in this issue. We always to include
at least one but we had last minute
adverts coming in. We will make
up for it in the next issue so keep
them coming in!

Enjoy Your Crab Tales

Dear Crab Tales Readers,

On Weds 20th May, all those in our contacts

list for philip.keddell@sky.com received
this letter which is shown it was received:
Hello,
Hope all is well with you over there? Am sorry for
the inconvenience and shock this message might
bring to you now as you read, am so depressed and
freaked out at the moment., I need assistance and
prayers from you because i dont know who else
to write this message to except you. My family and
i had to be in Ukraine for holidays and a program,
the program we came here for was successful but
our journey has turned sour :((, We got involved
in a car accident on our way back to the hotel we
lodged after the program. The driver died instantly
after the incident, but we where helped and rushed
to a nearest hospital around the town here, Well. I
thank God we are still alive and also can write you
this message. Firstly the reason why i write you this
message is to seek for your assistance financially,
Because the doctor said we cant be discharge
unless we pay our hospital bills just because we are
not a citizen of their country. Please i want you to do
me a favor by giving me a quick loan of some cash
() to settle up our bills, and also get a cab to the
airport and find our way back home before our bills
starts going higher here in the hospital. I promise
to refund back to you in full as soon as we get back
hopefully tomorrow or next. Please write back now
to let me know what you can do.

I await for your quick responds xx

Kind Regards, Lis Keddell, Crab Tales
I would like to thank everyone who told me
about this letter and would like to assure all
who received it that we are fit and well and
NOT in the Ukraine.
Not only is this a horrible scam but we had to
spend loads of time dealing with everything
from reporting it to the police, sorting out our
files on the internet, changing passwords and
scanning the computer for virus threats (none
found!) and after about 3 hours, retrieving our
contact list which had been emptied, along with
all our other folders.
Later that day we noticed that we were getting
no e-mails (on Copy Date!) so spent about an
hour going through each problem with our
internet providers who are investigating it.
We are still getting very few e-mails as our
usual contacts have been informed that the
e-mail address - shown below- does not exist.
If you tried to send us an e-mail on the 20th
or 21st of May, could you please re-send it
and accept our apologies if it is too late.

Dear Editor,

I would like to send a personal Thank You to

everyone who voted for me at the May 7th
Elections. Having served for the last eight
years, it is a great honour to have been reelected to serve you all for a third term.
Once again many thanks for your continued
support and you can rest assured that I shall
continue to do my very best working with
you all for the benefit of our community
which it has been my privilege to serve.
Cllr Barry Smith NNDC. Representing
The Mundesley Ward.

Dear Editor,

I would like to express my thanks to all the

wonderful people who voted for me in the
local elections. Im overjoyed that I am able
to build on the foundation from my previous
two dbut years at NNDC. Working without
divide, towards all things good, with vision
and compassion for a brighter future.
The election campaign was relentless and I am
truly grateful to the deliverers & personnel at HQ
for brilliantly backing a memorable campaign.
My running partner, Pierre Butikofer, was an
inspirational driving force on this journey and
kept me going even when we were exhausted.
My thanks are extended to Norman Lamb, who
visited the town on numerous occasions to help
out, even though he was running his own race
for the region. There are so many other people
who were involved so please accept a universal
acknowledgement to embrace all of you.

Im extremely proud of our beautiful town and

the many events it offers throughout the year,
thanks to dedicated organizers and volunteers.
I will continue to support their fine efforts at
every given opportunity.

Dear Editor,

I was quite surprised to see a letter from Mr H

Mouse in issue 061 of Crab Tales - I thought
hed been mouse-trapped a long time ago.
I note hes bothered by all the thank you
letters which appear in your magazine.
Perhaps there could be a special thank you
page and that would mean more room for
the entertaining letters -or even the
controversial ones !
On Monday 11th May, I was in Nth Walsham
quite early, it was a beautiful morning, sunny,
clear skies, warm -just the day for a bus ride
around our lovely countryside.

May is my favourite month with all the greenery

coming out everywhere so I thought Id take a
trip to Yarmouth, passing through Smallburgh,
Stalham, Sutton, Hickling, Catfield, Ludham,
Potter Heigham, Bastwick, Martham, Rollesby,
Fleggburgh, Filby, Ormesby and Caister.
The Number 6 bus turned up but I couldnt get
on it - it was that dreadful Postcards from
Sheringham bus - beautiful pictures of
Sheringham on the outside and like the
Black Hole of Calcutta on the inside.
What on earth do holiday makers think? How
can they appreciate our lovely countryside
through those black windows?
Whoever came up with the idea of painting over
the bus windows to advertise Sheringham should
be made to travel on that bus forever - theyd
soon end up with a headache.
Blackened windows on cars are not approved
of - why have they been allowed on buses?

10 Years ago I was diagnosed with MS and the

bottom of my world fell out. What better way
to prove to myself and to others that life goes

have me!
The MSTCN is a registered charity providing
services, information and support to all those
affected by a long term neurological condition.

Viewing
Cromer RNLIs original boathouse on the
East Promenade will be open at weekends.
(Weather, Launches and crew permitting)
Come along and see our inshore lifeboat
George and Muriel on our open days.
The boathouse on the East Promenade by the
Henry Blogg Museum will welcome visitors.
This historic building dates from 1867 replacing
an older building, which was approximately
100 metres from the present area.
This new boathouse work included building an
extension to the sea walls and a slipway across
the top of the beach.

Henry Blogg and Henry Shrimp Davies

and their crews.
(To date there have been awards of 45 Bronze
medals, 8 Silver medals and 3 Gold medals).
The station operated two offshore boats from
1923. The second boat was replaced by an
inshore lifeboat (ILB) in 1967.
This photo below shows the crew in 2013
Ted Luckin is on the far right hand side.

The work cost 476.4s.0d and was

carried out by a local builder by the
name of E. Simmons.
The cost of the station was met by
Benjamin Bond Cabbell who had
also bought a new lifeboat for the
station at the same time.
Since then the volunteer crews at
Cromer have gained a record of
gallantry stretching back to the
beginnings of the RNLI.
Some of the most notable rescues
and service have been carried out
by famous coxswains such as

I must also thank the many local shopkeepers

and our Committee members who gave items
for the Grand Raffle. We had a tremendous
number of prizes.
Finally, my grateful thanks must go to all who
helped prepare the hall & the food on Saturday
afternoon, worked tirelessly during the evening
and cleared up so well with the help of some of
the dancers at the end of the evening.
A tremendous evening. Well done.

Dear Editor,

A sign for the times in Aylsham.

Just in time for the Spring Bank Holiday, Aylsham

Community Partnership unveiled a striking new
sign directing visitors to the Heritage Centre.
The sign, made in oak by John Leaf of Matlaske
woodcarvers, was designed to fit and blend with
the existing church sign.

Aylsham Parish Church vicar Rev. Andrew

Beane was on hand for the unveiling on
Wednesday 13th May.
The sign was constructed from oak donated by
Aylsham residents Maureen and Richard Burr
while Broadland District Council made funds
available to cover the cost of carving.
Commenting on the sign, Aylsham Community
Partnership chairman Giles Margarson said:
The Heritage Centre is a lovely building, sitting
in the churchyard. It is a great resource for the
town as well as an attraction for visitors.
With the new sign, we believe visitor numbers
will increase, allowing more people to enjoy
what the Centre has to offer.
Find out more about Aylsham Heritage Centre,
at www.aylshamheritage.com

Dear Editor,

We are so proud of our new car park at Thorpe

Market church, but guess what?
For the second time recently we have received
the unwanted gift of open sacks of old Artex
ceiling material heavy, soggy, messy and
definitely not wanted.
Fly-tipping despoils the countryside and has to
be cleared away by SOMEONE.
If any Crab Tales readers have any suspicions
as to who might be the perpetrator of this
despicable act please will they tip us off?
Have you employed anyone to work
on your ceiling recently?
The latest offering is in a Wild Bird
Feed sack.

Celebrating 20 Years
On May 19th I joined nearly 100 members of
Coastwatch & partners at the Royal Hotel in
Mundesley to celebrate their 20th year of
watching and recording the movement of
the passing ships every day of the week
from 8am to 6pm.

Dear Editor,

The Cromer Ladies Lifeboat Guild AGM held

on 30th April, saw 2 of its long serving members
receive prestigious National Awards in recognition of their long service and outstanding
contribution to RNLI fundraising.
Life President, Mrs Daisy Spurgeon, received
a Gold Bar to her Gold Badge and Chairman,
Mrs Beryl Mansell, received a Silver Badge.
Daisy has been a member of the Guild since its
inception in 1973 and was the inaugural Treasurer
and became the Chairman in 1979 until 2006 the longest serving Chairman to date.
On her retirement from the role of Chairman,
she was invited to become Life President.
Daisy has worked tirelessly for the Guild, for
over 40 years. She still takes an active role,
chairs the AGM, and provides invaluable
support to the Committee & the Guild.
Beryl also joined the Guild in the 1970s and was
a hardworking & reliable committee member for
many years before taking on the role of Social
Secretary and responsible for organising many
successful events, followed by five years as the
Secretary. After a break, Beryl returned to the
Guild and in 2009, she took on her current role
as Chairman. She has guided & steered the Guild
to achieve exceptional results over the last few
years, resulting in thousands of pounds being
raised for the RNLI. The 2014 - 15 figures the
highest annual fundraising total to date!
The presentation ceremony was introduced by
Mr Tony Webster, Cromer RNLI Station Chairman, awards were presented by Mr John Davies,
Cromer RNLI Coxswain and the flowers and
cards were presented by Mrs Barbara Mayes,
a founder member of the Guild.

Mundesley Maritime
Museum

I take my hat off to everyone involved this this

organisation as the ship movement along the
Norfolk Coast continues to grow by the day.

Open From 30th May until September.

The star of the lunch had to be Richard May, who
back in 1995 set up the second Coastwatch in
the UK. There are now 50 stations in the UK.
All of those who have given so much to this
organisation over the years paid their respect
to this delightful man.
John Carpenter spoke brilliantly on Richards
behalf (due to lost of voice) and awards were
given to 6 volunteers for serving 5 years, one
for 10 years, 2 for 15 years and 5 for 20 years
(those good folks surrounding Richard May
in the wheelchair).
There are now 50 trained volunteers running
the station overlooking the sea at Mundesley
7 days a week, rain or shine.
Also present were The Lord Lieutenant and
the High Sheriff of Norfolk, Archie McNichol
and Nic Pratt.
After speeches were given a lunch was served
which was enjoyed by everyone.

Also present at the lunch were members of the

Friends of Mundesley Coastwatch, which is a

Now 20 years on, the Maritime Museum will

open from 11am - 1pm & 2.30pm - 4pm
every day except on Saturdays.
A meeting of volunteers was held on May 15th
at Mundesley Parish Offices to celebrate 20 yrs
of the Museum being open. Notably the same
number of years that the Coastwatch opened
its door upstairs.
As a volunteer working a couple of hours every
week, I can recommend visitors to pop along to
check out this free (and smallest) museum in the
UK, as it is full of interesting photographs and
records of Mundesleys history and, if they have
the time, you might be able to visit the
Coastwatch station upstairs.
It is also interesting to do a shift in the Museum
so if you would like to spare a few hours every
week during the summer showing visitors around
do give Peter Gray a ring on: 01263 722 662
or on his mobile: 07799 105 611.
Looking forward to welcoming you as a visitor
and / or as a new volunteer.

The Appeal by John Grisham

A very enjoyable afternoon with the children

practising their one to one communication
skills and the visitors had a lovely tea and
recalling memories of North Repps.

In a crowded courtroom in Mississippi, a jury

returns a shocking verdict against a chemical
company accused of dumping toxic waste
into a small towns water supply, causing
the worst cancer cluster in history.
The company appeals to the Mississippi Supreme
Court, whose nine justices will one day either
approve the verdict - or reverse it.
The chemical company is owned by a Wall
Street predator named Carl Trudeau, and
Mr. Trudeau is convinced the Court is
not friendly enough to his interests.
With judicial elections looming, he decides to
try to purchase himself a seat on the Court.

The cost is a few million dollars, a drop in the

bucket for a billionaire like Mr. Trudeau.
Through an intricate web of conspiracy and
deceit, his political operatives recruit a young,
unsuspecting candidate.
They finance him, manipulate him, market
him, and mould him into a potential
Supreme Court justice.
Their Supreme Court justice.

Just 1 Coin

V. E. Day

On Tuesday May 20th Budgens in Cromer

played host to 26 children each with a
1 coin to do their shopping.

On the 8th of May around 100 people gathered

from Mundesley and beyond to celebrate 70
years since the end of the war.
The event was organised on a shoestring and
within just a week of Brian Hall Jr. posting
on Mundesley Past & Present to see if any
events were taking place to commemorate
this anniversary.
The Coronation Hall was swathed with flags
whilst metres of bunting adorned the stage.

Pictured Above Heather Cox ( who has been

with Budgens for a mere 30 years) with
Tianna & Stanley.
Looking at what they purchased, it appeared
that every one of the children was buying
sweets of some sort.
As well as visiting Budgens they moved
around the town doing other ventures,
besides just shopping.
They all appeared to be enjoying their
morning shopping trip.

History Tales
Sheringham & Cromer
In 1781

This description of Sheringham and the North

Norfolk coast dates back to 1781, the original
text often uses an f where we would use an
s for example efpecially crabs and lobfters.
I have changed this to make it easier to read
but otherwise left the original spelling and
punctuation.
The town is divided into Upper Sheringham &
Lower Sheringham, alias Sheringham Hithe, as
lying by the sea shore; the houses in the former
being nearly a mile from it, while those of the
latter are so near the beach as frequently to
suffer by the impetuosity of the tides.
Lower Sheringham is situated on a part of the
cliff which is but a few yards from the beach,
and the cliff gradually rises on each side to upwards of a hundred; the sea gains considerably
here, and it is not un-common to observe large
pieces of arable land carried away with corn
growing ...so near do the people plough to the
edge of a cliff, which strikes a stranger with
horror to look down it.
There is a very considerable fishery from this
place of cod, skate & whiteings, but especially
crabs and lobsters, with which this place and
Cromer chiefly supply the London market, by
vessels which take the fish from the boats
while at sea.
There is a very good inn at Lower Sheringham,
much resorted to in summer for the sake of eating
lobsters in their highest perfection; the dining
room stands so near the edge of the cliff, that at
high water no land can be seen, and from which
a stranger cannot but be delighted with the awful
but pleasing prospect which the unbounded ocean
affords sometimes thirty or forty fishing boats
within a mile of the shore, and often fleets of
three hundred colliers and other large trading
vessels are seen passing so near, that with the
naked eye you may discover the men on board
while at low water the beach is enlivened by
the multitude of fishermen either drying their
nets, hawling up their boats, repairing their
tackle, landing their fish, or securing their
lobsters and crabs in coys, a fort of boxes
fixed to the rocks, which the sea overflows
and fills at every tide.
This prospect may be enjoyed within doors, but
when abroad you will be charmed by the beauty
of the country, surrounded by richly cultivated,
and what in Norfolk may be called bold and
lofty hills; from the hill to the east of Lower
Sheringham you command a wonderfully
extensive view of the seacoast, abruptly
bounded by Cromer light-house, about
four miles to the east...
Bob Wilkinson

Call us to see how we

can make life with
your Garage Door
a whole lot easier

My name is Steve Bobbin and, with my son Sam,

we are Your Local Garage Door Man Ltd.
The Sales pitch..... With four members of staff,
we are a small family-run business, based in
Reepham & Brundall, that is focused on the
quality of our products & the highest standard
of work and we pride ourselves on presenting
top quality products and services at affordable
prices. Sam & I are both City & Guilds qualified
in carpentry and electrical installation.
The Mission statement.. Our aim is to make
our customers lives, with their garage door a lot
easier. Either from a door service, to an Up and
Over door or a new automated door system, we
will match our products to suit your budget.
The Research bit. When we embarked on the
journey to set up our enterprise, we put ourselves
to the test to ensure we researched where to find
the best suppliers for our range of garage doors.
It was quite an arduous task as we would only
consider assured manufacturer backed products.
The Science bit.. With over thirty years of
experience in the garage door business, our
range of services & door products all carry 5
& 10 year Manufacturer-backed Warranties.

Our service and repairs

carry a 2 year warranty
and coupled with our local
presence we are always
there if you need us.
Lets face it, a garage door
is a long term investment
so it has to be right for the
customer and low (or no)
maintenance for the future.
Its all about peace of mind, which we know from
over 450 handwritten customer references, which
appear on Norfolk County Councils Trusted
Trader website: Google Referencline.com
This is just one example:
Dear Steve,
I feel I must get back to you to say how
delighted I am with my new garage door.
From start to finish the whole experience has
been perfection. Yesterday the young men
worked with quiet efficiency and were
pleasant and friendly throughout.
The site was left clean and tidy and all
rubbish taken away.
As for the result, I am very happy and very
impressed with the way everything works
so well and smoothly. It is A1.
Thank you to all concerned, I would have
absolutely no hesitation in recommending
you to friends who might enquire.
I certainly feel like a very
satisfied customer.
Yours sincerely
June
And lastly
We get immense satisfaction from seeing the
customers reaction when they see their new
door installed which, they tell us, completely
transforms the look of their homes. 100%
customer satisfactionWe love our job!!

Cowshed
Cinderella

Written by Miranda Marshall

Director at Hayes + Storr
A farmers daughter from Carmarthenshire,
West Wales dubbed the Cowshed Cinderella
has won 1,300,000 from her parents for her
30 years of work and the loss of her young
days of freedom.
The High Court in Cardiff was told that Eirian
Davies, 45, missed out going to dances to look
after the cows on the family dairy farm while
her sisters partied.
Hard-working Eirian was assured by her
parents Tegwyn and Mary that you will
have the damn lot one day.
Eirian gave her life to the farm in the belief
that her patience and hard work would be
rewarded and that she would take over the
thriving farm and its pedigree milking
herd when her parents retired.

It was ruled that the farm was worth about

3,800,000 and that an appropriate award
for Eirian would be 1,300,000 for her to
start a farm of her own.

Until she reached 21 she worked for nothing.

After that she often received as little as 15 a
day for milking the cows. If she complained
about her treatment, her father told her not
to kill the goose that lays the golden egg.

The legal way of preventing this problem

would have been to put in place a properly
drafted Partnership Agreement to protect
the respective interests of the different
parties. This advice would apply to
any family business.

Both her sisters Enfys and Eleri left home to

pursue other careers and for the past 20 years
Eirian was alone on the farm with her parents.
Eirian was shown a copy of a Will in 2009 which
left nearly all the farm to her. Relations with
her parents deteriorated when she formed
male friendships.
A family fight broke out and the parents
began proceedings to evict Eirian.

This article aims to supply general information,

but it is not intended to constitute advice.
Every effort is made to ensure that the law referred to is correct at the date of publication and
to avoid any statement which may mislead.
However no duty of care is assumed to any
person and no liability is accepted for any
omission or inaccuracy. Always seek our
specific advice.

Eirian launched a legal battle for her

rightful share.
The Appeal Court found that she had relied to
her detriment on her parents promises and
thrown herself into working on the farm.
She was thus entitled to a beneficial interest
in the business in order to reflect her suffering
and the promises made to her.

If you require advice on this matter please

on: 01263 825 959.

From Snails
To Pizzas

14

Aylsham High Schools Nurture Group

had a great time making pizza this week
as part of a visit from representatives of
Aylshams Cittaslow Committee.
Giles Margarson, chairman of the
Committee, was accompanied by Mo
Anderson-Dungar & Town Clerk Sue
Lake, between them explaining what
Cittaslow is all about and how it
benefits the town.
Rather than just a talk, Giles, Mo and
Sue used the pizzas as a metaphor for
how the community comes together via
Cittaslow: the pizza base represented
Aylsham itself, the tomato paste the
towns infrastructure while the
toppings are the local people.
Cittaslows emblem of a snail was also discussed
with the youngsters learning that Cittaslow
translates as Slow Town so the use of the
snail emblem is particularly appropriate.
The local community and its infrastructure was
further highlighted by a discussion on how money
spent with local businesses in the town often
stays in the town to support the local economy.
Commenting on the event, the High Schools
Head of Nurture Danny Sweatman said:
What a fabulous afternoon! Thank you Giles,
Mo and Sue for providing such an interesting
talk pitched perfectly for our young people.

They thoroughly enjoyed it and I know they

will now be very keen to do what they can to
support our community even further.
Aylsham is currently one of only 5 towns in the
UK which have met the strict entry criteria of
the Cittaslow movement that internationally
includes 147 towns in 24 countries.
Cittaslow status is an accreditation that acknowledges the dedication & commitment of community
members who work hard to make their part of
the world a healthier, greener, happier, slower
place to inhabit.

North Norfolk Beaches

Keep Britain Tidy has announced
the winners of this years Blue Flag
& Seaside Awards.
Flying the flag for our seaside resorts
this year are Sheringham, Cromer,
Mundesley and Sea Palling.
All four are continuing the standard
of excellence that was recognised
with the awards of Blue Flag status
last year.
NNDC is celebrating an extra award
this year; alongside East Runton beach
which has been awarded a Seaside
Award for the second year running,
Wells-next-the-Sea beach has won
the coveted award for the first time
in recognition of high standards of
beach management.
Each award-winning North Norfolk
beach has scooped the awards based
on offering visitors great facilities,
a litter free & safe environment and,
for the Blue Flag awards, meeting
the highest international water
quality requirements.
England can now boast more Blue
Flag Award-winning beaches than
Cyprus or Mexico and now ranks
in the Top Ten in the world for
beaches that meet the very high
standards set for the award.
Both Blue Flag & Seaside Awards
are the quality marks for our beaches
and mean those visiting them can be
sure they are clean & safe and meet
the highest environmental standards,
as well the tough bathing water
quality standards.
NNDC Leader, Tom FitzPatrick,

said: We are absolutely delighted

that four of North Norfolks Blue
Flag resort beaches have retained
their awards this year and it is
fantastic news that Wells-next-theSea has joined East Runton as a
Seaside Award-winning beach for
the first time. We are immensely
proud of our coastal resorts and
these awards are testament to the
hard work that goes on to ensure
that North Norfolk beaches are
among the best beaches in the
country and allows us to keep
the Blue Flags flying.
Our award-winning beaches are a
wonderful place for both residents
& visitors to enjoy; they put North
Norfolk firmly on the map as a
first-class visitor destination.

Keep Britain Tidys Coastal Award

manager Paul Todd said:
As an environmental charity,
Keep Britain Tidy is committed
to improving the quality of the
places where people live, work
and holiday and these winners
have proved their commitment
to providing the best possible
beaches for locals & visitors.
The fact that 140 beaches will be
flying a Blue Flag or Seaside Award
this summer is testament to the hard
work of our beach managers.
Great beaches are good for the
communities they serve, good for
visitors and, therefore, good for
the economy, as more visitors
means more money going
into our coastal resorts.

On Saturday May 16th I decided it was time

to check out how Annes White Horse Inns
Sausage Roll competition was going.

While 17 entries and 5 judges, pictured below,

were involved it was an event that was
enjoyed by a packed pub.

The competition, which required entrants to make

15 sausage rolls, raised a very healthy profit
which went towards the Neo Natal Intensive
Care Unit, who helped the landladys
grandson Theo.
After the winner, Valerie Whiteford, who just
happens to live across the road in West Street,
pictured above on right with Annie, was
declared, a raffle was held of numerous
items which had all been donated.
The remaining sausage rolls were sold on the
night to raise even more funds.
I didnt enter the competition but the sausage
roll I tried did go down very well thank you.

estimates that can, and do, go through

the roof once the work has started by
many builders.

And, I would add, Wethacote are still

going strong.
Having originally started his business in
Huntingdon, Dave Collette, then moved
within a year to Bury St Edmunds
where they have been ever since.
Since starting up Wethacote, other than
changing your location, what have been
the changes so far? I asked Dave.
With now over thirty eight years
under our belt, we have a great
many very happy customers.
Most of them, if they have not done so
already, would happily write a letter of
recognition for the work we have done
that does smarten up their house.
It is all about getting it just right and
giving our customers up-front quotes
for the work we will do, not like those

Bedfordshire, Essex & South Lincolnshire.

They are now expanding into Norfolk.

Above : Before Wethacote got to work

Wethacotes business is all about

preparing the property properly in
the first place to ensure that they
get it just right, which Daves
team seem to do.
With a 20 year guarantee on the
work they undertake, this family
business has loads of very happy
customers in houses of all sizes
in Suffolk and Cambridgeshire,
Northamptonshire, Hertfordshire,

If your property has started to look drab, if the pebbledash has

cracks in it, if the rendering is turning sandy, if your pointing
is old or faulty, if your brickwork has started to crumble or the
paint on the walls has started to peel - dont worry, see below
why our satisfied customers have chosen WETHACOTE

Above : The finished job

This is an just one example of the work

that Dave and his team do.
To see many more pictures of all kinds of
Before & After properties, give Dave a
