Hello ,

December is upon us, suitably frosty, so thoughts tend to turn to Christmas - like it or not! We have an article that should make life easier on the present buying front as we suggest how you can "BUY LOCAL" in Abingdon for Christmas presents without too much hard work...

Don't forget to put a recommended plumber on speed dial now that the weather has changed too! See our list below.

This Saturday sees the Christmas Craft Market in the Market Place and the ever popular Mum to Mum Nearly New Sale at Fitzharrys School.

We have a selection of offers from some of the best businesses in Abingdon and recommend a few more for you to try too.

Have a great weekend,
Helen

The Best Plumbers in Abingdon

He stood there, shivering so much he thought he could hear his bones clattering. He wasn’t sure exactly what time it was, but he could see through the window that it was still dark. “This is a disaster” he thought. A day when being on time couldn’t have been more important. He’d never make his way through the Oxfordshire traffic to arrive at his 9am interview on time now. Unless…

Dream Doors

Is your kitchen looking tired and in need of an upgrade? Dream Doors Oxford, based in Abingdon, offers a quick, easy and economical alternative to replacing the whole kitchen. By replacing the doors and drawers with custom made new ones, a Dream Doors facelift can transform your kitchen at a fraction of the cost of a complete refit and in a fraction of the time. Alternatively Dream Doors can offer a complete redesign and installation of new units. Thoroughly recommended by their customers for kitchen design in Abingdon.


I love my new purple splashback! Dream Doors let us take home endless samples before we chose our final one and then the fitting was quick and mess-free. The fitter righted a problem (of my making) cheerfully and left a brilliant job done. Great to know that DD can just do small parts of a kitchen as well as a total refit.

What sets Jenks Oxford apart from other tree surgeons around Abingdon is their clear focus on great customer service, building strong local working relationships with every client, whether on ongoing contracts or one-off jobs.


The team from Jenks were outstanding. We had several trees either taken down or crown lifted and the advice given was excellent. The work was done professionally, efficiently and with great teamwork. The garden was left tidy and with logs stacked and brushwood chipped. A friendly team to have around as well!
