Question Has anyone used Joe Solar

1 Upvotes

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone has used Joe solar for any solar panel or battery installations?

Cannot find too many reviews online. But the price they are offering is not too bad and they’ve been decent with communication so far.

Question Was Worksop ever nice?

5 Upvotes

Recently a friend of mine said that Worksop used to be an actually alright town after I asked him why Worksop, out of all places, has a private school. He said “it’s because Worksop used to be actually good”. I didn’t believe him, I can’t really imagine this place ever being that nice.

But I want to hear ya’ll on this, was Worksop ever “nice”?

Question Thoughts on Woodsetts village

1 Upvotes

Hi all,

Wondering what people's thoughts are on Woodsetts? Little village outside Worksop.

Buying first house, currently near Chesterfield but seen a decent house in Woodsetts near Northfield Drive.

How is the A57 towards the M1 in a morning around 8/9am? Is the area and village fairly safe/low crime? I gather there's no supermarkets there even a Tesco express? So have to travel to elsewhere for stuff

Any thoughts are most welcome and appreciated.

Question Moving to worksop

3 Upvotes

Seen a property on Kilton Hill that we like the look of. What's it like round there?

Obvious it's a big road, it's towards the middle near the Cresent. It's not the suburbia we're used to but will you compromise for something bigger.

Hello Everyone!

I hope you're all doing well. I'm a student from Singapore, and I enjoy collecting postcards as a personal hobby. I would love to receive postcards from Worksop!

If you’re able to send one, I’d be truly grateful. If postcards aren’t available, a greeting card or even a small souvenir like a keychain, flag, cap, handicraft, T-shirt, magnet or local snack would also be wonderful.

Please feel free to comment below if you’re able to help and I’ll message you my mailing details 🙂.

Thank you so much in advance! Wishing you all the best and sending warm regards from Singapore!

Question How do I find a decorator?

3 Upvotes

I know this seems like a stupid question but I'm out of touch with things. So please, no roasting.

It's been 20 years since I last hired a decorator and methods of business advertising and searching for such businesses has changed.

You'd think Yellow Pages was a good idea but I remember that even after a business have closed down, their business would still be listed. But these days, Yellow Pages isn't the only place. Not to mention that some businesses work on word of mouth or listing on Facebook/Twitter etc which I don't have.

So I'm litteraly out of touch in knowing where and how to search.

I have some walls that need wallpapering. And due to how the walls are, it would be a 2 person job for safety and might actually be a 2 day job.

So can anyone point me in the direction of finding decorators please?

Thank you.

UPDATE: With the tips in the comments I've been trying to get in touch with decorators. So far it's proving a little difficult. Basically, most decorators are so booked up that they're currently not taking new customers until they've thinned out their calendar. One said that he was booked until at least end of November. I do however, have one coming to give a quote.
