Mirror mirror on the wall

Mar 22, 2022

After Emanuel Whittaker had completed a bathroom replacement for FCHO resident Margaret Bennet, the team noticed that Margaret had a new mirrored cabinet to put up in her new bathroom, but no way of fitting it herself.

Luckily Emanuel Whittaker Joiner Mathew Mott was more than happy to fit this for her, along with a new shelf.

Margaret loves her new bathroom, and thanked the team for their politeness and kindness.

Door Dilemma

Mar 22, 2022

Local resident Jeff Driver was struggling to get an old door into his car to take to the tip!  After several frustrated attempts, Emanuel Whittaker Site Manager Gary Zetter offered to put the door in the skip at the compound, much to Jeff’s relief!

Jeff was over the moon and now stops by the cabins every day to say, “Hi”.

No more draughts

Mar 22, 2022

Whilst replacing a kitchen for Salix Homes resident Roger Gavin, he mentioned that his bedroom window handle had fallen off and was creating a draught throughout his flat.

Emanuel Whittaker Resident Liaison Officer Vicky Gee reported this to Emanuel Whittaker Site Manager Mike Rylance to see if we could help. Mike managed to find a spare window handle in the office and fitted it himself. Roger couldn’t believe it and was very thankful, especially with the recent storms we’ve been having!

After having her new kitchen installed, Emanuel Whittaker Resident Liaison Officer Courtney Greatorex helped FCHO resident Cecilia McAdam unpack her heavy boxes of kitchen equipment and reorganise her kitchen.

Cecilia is delighted with her new kitchen and with the extra help from the Emanuel Whittaker team.

Helping Hand

Mar 22, 2022

Northwards Housing resident, Donna Hayward, had just returned home following a lengthy stay in hospital, when fire stopping work had to be carried out in the loft space of her bungalow at White Moss Gardens. This meant that Donna would be confined to her bedroom, as she was on 24hr oxygen.

Emanuel Whittaker Resident Liaison Officers, Sarah Kershaw and Sharna Bradley, visited Donna throughout the day, making her cups of tea and making lunch for her whilst the work was carried out.

Derek Tart and Danny Hancock from fire stopping sub-contractor Alpha, also kept Donna’s spirits up throughout the day with jokes and funny stories.

Donna was very grateful and enjoyed everyone being there.
