Summer, where was it, but Autumn came early and stayed for so long, now here we are, still mild in November, tidying up sorting out those final niggles in the garden before winter. Remember to check those fences for rot and stability, do they need a new coat of preservative, a replacement post, panel or will a spur get you through the season. Were there so many leaves to collect in your garden that a new compost bin is needed or perhaps a screen to hide the debris?

Well, with the summer holidays over the staff are chatting about the autumn the spring and what to plant in their gardens. Perhaps it is time to look again at our trellis and planters:

With the addition of spring bulbs, maybe a small evergreen shrub or climber and winter pansies above there could be colour in the garden, or close to the house etc. for those dark cold months.

1.) “What do you mean you do not do evening or week-end calls, we work Monday to Friday?” – hmm, companies who can offer these facilities are usually ‘one-man’ bands or large nationals, it costs a great deal of money to employ a person to work out of normal office hours and those charges would greatly inflate our prices.

2.) “Don’t try to fob me off with bad weather.” – hmm, well it is very likely we cannot come out to the domestic situation if rain is bucketing down, heavy snow is falling or the fog is so thick we cannot see to fetch and carry. In the domestic situation, heavy rain or thick snow can turn a garden into a quagmire, resulting not only in the erectors slipping and sliding about but in also wreaking havoc on the garden, ploughing up plants etc, where in the dry an erector could step around. The customer would, we are sure be more upset having to replace garden plants etc, at their expense.

3.) “What do you mean he’s late because of a puncture, he’s probably overslept, or you’re trying to slot in another job before mine.” – hmm, oh dear, the sad reality is that we stand to lose custom by not fulfilling our duties and putting in additional jobs will not gain the custom lost by a dissatisfied customer.

4.) “You told me approximately 5 weeks and now it is six.” Our time-scale usually covers holidays but occasionally it may take us a few more days than expected to schedule the work dates and of course sickness is the perennial thorn that cannot be anticipated.

5.) “You need to sort out your IT, everybody should carry, not just a mobile phone but a blackberry, a tablet, a laptop and be available to customers.” Hmm, I expect people like British Gas can do this but they are a national company, we are happy to deal with customers in the office or through the shop, by telephone or e-mail but again costs to the customer would be accelerated to pay for all these IT gadgets, not to mention the service bills that would be generated.

6.) “You did a job for me and now the wood is warped, split, shrunk and I expect you to change it.” The sad reality of working with natural substances like wood is we have no means of measuring its life expectancy, in the case of wood it can warp, split, change colour, seep resin and all of this is beyond our control.

Jarrett Fencing timber materials are preservative treated, unless specified otherwise. Timbe is a natural organic material and will contain knots and sap, the timber may well swell, shrink and or, warp which can cause splitting to occur; this is to be expected and M F Jarrett & Sons, T/a jarrett Fencing cannot be held liable and or, responsible to exchange goods or refund monies in this event.

This meets with British Standard: ENISO9000; 1722 parts: 4, 5, 6, 7 and 14 – No. 3470.

When our customers’ shout and scream at us in indignation about their rights we all become a trifle frayed and put out, none of us retain the initial enthusiasm and trust that was engendered at the time of the estimate. Please be assured that Jarrett Fencing does not intend to cause distress and frustration to its customers, we always aim to work to our scheduled times and dates but dealing with the environment and being mere humans we may not always maintain the high standards we all would like.

Please be assured Jarrett Fencing will always strive to fulfil customer’s orders to time and we will endeavour to keep our customers informed of the latest position of their order. Fortunately, by far the majority of our customers prove to be a friendly and taolerant bunch who make doing business a pleasure.

These days trellis is used in a number of different ways, e.g. to provide screening or a windbreak, to divide an area, as well as other structural and visual functions within a garden. Why not take a look at Jarrett Fencing’s great range of trellis, whether added to the existing fence, as a view through panel or placed above a panel it can offer support to larger plants and climbers, or be an ornamental backdrop.
With modern gardens, ever diminishing in size, the trellis becomes a firm favourite for growing cucumbers, peas, beans, tomatoes and aubergines and getting these vegetables off the ground will produce a better crop; it also protects them from insects that are in the soil. Having the fruits above ground also prevents them from rotting, by not resting on poorly drained or wet soil.
In addition, of course, the ever popular use of trellis with an arbour and, or gate to give a welcome to visitors or, consider how trellis can bring further dimension to your garden.

If anyone would like to help Janette and her friend Jackie to support the RNLI then go to: http://www.justgiving.com/Janette-Sibley.

Do you know it costs upwards of £1000 to provide clothing for a full crew member, his gloves and boots alone cost £16 & £42 respectively.

Many people think the RNLI is a Govt. body but far from it, we wish Janette and her friend Jackie every success in their challange.
