Herefordshire firm to contribute to top TV show


A Herefordshire firm have restored the heart of a traditional country home as part of a top TV renovation show which was screened last Thursday.

Leominster-based Aga Twyford stepped in to re-enamel the AGA cooker for the Green family as part of the successful Channel Four TV series, ‘Help, My House is Falling Down’.

The show, which is hosted by the TV Queen of property development, Sarah Beeny, featured the family who need a make-over for their kitchen, by transforming their ‘mustard’ yellow AGA cooker into something a little more subtle.

Sarah Beeny returns for a second series of the show that aims to help people rescue their homes from the brink of disaster and the Green family are in need of help to renovate their farmhouse in Writtle, near Chelmsford.

Armed with a team of specialists Sarah diagnoses and deals with a host of potentially terminal property problems – from serious subsidence to terrifying cracking through severe water damage and even a home that might fall down a mine!

Rose Norman for Aga Twyford said: “We were delighted to have the opportunity to breathe new life into the Green family’s Aga. It is absolutely true that the Aga is the very heartbeat of the home and our customers say that once they have lived with one they simply couldn’t do without it.”

Andy and Andrea Green have lived in the house for three years but the property has been in Andy’s family since 1908. It was originally bought by Andy’s great grandfather who was the village butcher.

Andrea said: “Since we have been there we have always used and loved the Aga but we definitely did not love the colour!

“When I first moved to the farm I could not get on with it but now, when we go on holiday I find it difficult to use a normal cooker. It takes a while to get the hand of using an Aga but once you are used to it is like it is one of the family.”

Andy and Andrea, who have five children between them, have been living in a caravan for the six weeks while the makeover was underway.

“If the weather is nice we barbecue, and if not, I do the best with what I have got in the caravan. I can’t wait to get back to my Aga.”

Andrea also runs a small business making jams and chutneys which are all made on the Aga which makes it even more important that the renovation is completed quickly.

“I am always making the family things like gingerbread and shortbread. It is so easy with an Aga to pop it in the oven and if you are going to have a busy day you can just place a casserole in the simmering oven to cook all day.”

Help my House is Falling Down is still available to watch on 4OD. Visit www.channel4.com for further details.
