The Great Skipton Santa Fun Run was a great success. We have a link to the video.

1836 people registered and took part in the recent Great Skipton Santa Fun Run. A few boxes of unused Santa suits have been returned to the Towler & Staines warehouse ready to be issued for next year's event. We will learn at the end of February how much the Skipton Santa Fun raised for local charities. It is organised by Skipton Craven Rotary Club.

The fun run started and finished in Skipton main street for the first time and preceded the switching on of the Christmas lights. The day was a great success and two fun runners got married when they completed the course!

You can now watch a video of the event by following the link below.

Great news for Fork Lift Truck operators.

Towler & Staines the Calor Gas Principal Dealer in Bradford and Keighley supply Calor Automotive Propane for Fork Lift Trucks.

Calor innovation has recently improved the performance of their Automotive Gas in cylinders .
Magnatract Technology eliminates the risk of metal particles blocking the cylinder valve and the forklift truck's fuel injection system. Plastic Memory Dip Tubes have been introduced for flexibility which means they are not prone to fracture as steel dip tubes sometimes are. Automatic Excess Flow-Valves are fitted so that if the hose splits the cylinder will shut down immediately and safely.
These three features prevent expensive and frustrating down time.

Calor Automotive Gas for Fork Lift Trucks has a number benefits versus diesel. LPG is environmentally friendly emitting fewer particulates and is lead and soot free. This reduces carbon emissions and is healthier for the workforce. LPG gives greater fuel security eliminating diesel theft,and can be used in most environments owing to low emissions. If spilled LPG vaporises ensuring there is no contamination of land or watercourse.

Calor Automotive's benefits over electric fork lift trucks are reduced downtime, lower up-front costs and powerful performance both indoors and outdoors regardless of low temperatures with no drop in output.

Prepare for winter now!

The evenings are drawing in and the forecast for next weekend is for much cooler weather so it is time to think about keeping warm.

different cabinet heater models to choose from. Prices range from £74.00 for the Lifestyle Seasons Warmth Heater (available in red or black) to £259.99 for the Provence Living Flame heaters (available in five different colours).

15% saving when you click and collect Calor Patio Gas at Towler & Staines.

Towler & Staines the Calor Gas Principal Dealer in Bradford and Keighley have added Calor Patio Gas to their Click and Collect Scheme. There are two sizes of Calor Patio Gas, 5kg and 13kg. If you Click and Collect on either of these sizes you will receive a 15% discount on the price.

Last year Calor Gas introduced greater numbers of Patio Gas 5kg cylinders into the system to improve availability for barbecue owners. Most barbecues in the UK have less than 3 burners and the 5kg cylinder is ideal for these customers.

Essentially, for barbecues with 3 burners or less the 5kg Patio Gas cylinder is the best option.

The 5kg Patio Gas cylinder is easier to handle, transport and store at home after use. It has the built in Gas Trac Contents Indicator so you can avoid running out of gas during your barbecue. It is estimated that this size of cylinder will last for around 14 barbecues (around 2 years use).

However, barbecues with 4 burners or more, large patio heaters and the Flame Tower do require a 13kg Patio Gas cylinder.

You can exchange a 13kg for a 5kg or even in a 5kg for a 13kg Patio Gas cylinder at no cost. However, the Calor exchange policy states that Patio Gas cylinders are in a group of their own and cannot be exchanged for other sizes. If you have a Calor Butane cylinder or a different size Calor Propane cylinder you will need to surrender it for a refund and then take out a hire agreement for a Calor Patio Gas.

Towler & Staines: a bit of history!

Looking through some old files at Towler & Staines the Calor Gas Principal Dealer in Keighley and Bradford a couple of old photographs of its original address were discovered. The pictures are of 46 Bradford Road in Keighley which was the address in the 1950s. This building was next to Cox's Garage the BMC and Jaguar dealer and was demolished when the Alston Retail Park was constructed.

Towler & Staines was established in 1945 when Albert Staines was demobbed from the Royal Navy and formed a partnership with John Towler,  a first world war veteran. Both were painters and decorators. The business grew, employing a number of decorators. In the mid 1950s Calor Gas powered blowtorches became available which prompted the firm to become a Calor Gas Stockist alongside the decorating business.

During the early 1960s the business moved to its present Keighley address at 85 Bradford Road.
In 1989 Towler & Staines Ltd acquired the Bradford Calor Gas Centre at 498 Leeds Road where it has a purpose built outlet.

The company has added Air Liquide Drinks Dispense Gas and Air Products Industrial Gas agencies to its portfolio.The helium supplied by Air Products has led to a successful balloon business too.

From 2000 the company has specialised in outdoor leisure products and has a range of quality barbecues, patio heaters and camping stoves and accessories. The company is the sole agent for Cadac spares and accessories.  Almost all the ranges are available on line and Towler & Staines offers excellent advice and service from a staff who have many years of experience in the gas and appliance business.  The company has been 3 times National Calor Gas award winners for customer service.

For a number of years the company has exhibited at three motorhome shows in Harrogate, Lincoln and Peterborough, and the staff welcome old and new visitors to their stand!

Should caravanners and campers change from Calor propane to butane in summer? We have the answer.

One of the frequently asked questions at Calor Gas Dealers Towler & Staines, the LPG Specialists is "do I need to change from propane to butane Calor Gas cylinders when I go caravanning or camping in summer?" The hardy winter caravanners need to use propane because butane can cease working in freezing weather.

The answer is no, because propane offers you the same qualities of performance as butane and has greater flexibility in terms of available regulators. You can fit a regulator which passes a greater amount of gas if you have a lot of gas appliances in your caravan such as a water heater, heater and cooker.

For the technically minded, butane has a maximum flame temperature of 1996 degrees C and propane 1980 degrees C. The Calorific Value vaporised is 3200 BTu per cubic foot for butane and 2500 BTu per cubic foot for propane. Butane must be used indoors and propane for external use.

However, the gas performance difference is not really noticeable in use and so we advise you to stay with propane all year round.

Calor Patio Gas is also propane but with a clip on connector rather than the left hand threaded POL connector on propane cylinders.

Why is Calor Patio Gas a better option for the barbecue season? Towler & Staines have the answer.

Despite the cold Easter, thoughts are beginning to turn to Spring and Summer pursuits in the great outdoors which often involves barbecues and patio heaters.

At Towler & Staines, the Calor Gas Principal Dealer in Bradford and Keighley we are frequently asked the question " why Calor Patio Gas?" We answered this last year at about this time but many people are still asking, so here is the answer again!

In recent years gas barbecues are increasingly designed for propane gas, possibly because butane gas is not available for consumers in a number of countries including the USA and Canada. The original Calor Propane cylinders have a female left hand threaded valve which requires a spanner to make a gas tight connection.

With the arrival of the Patio Heater and the increasing popularity of gas barbecues it was decided that a clip on regulator with a gas contents indicator was much more user friendly and, most importantly, safer. Hence the launch of Calor Patio Gas a few years ago which is propane gas with a clip on connection and a contents indicator. It is in a green and red cylinder and comes in two sizes: the 13kg which is ideal for Patio Heaters and larger barbecues (four burners and more); the 5kg which is suited to smaller barbecues and the Calor Grill 2 Go is specially designed to fit on it.

Calor Patio Gas Clip on regulator

The clip on regulator is designed to pass a greater quantity of gas than the small propane regulator and is therefore suitable for even the largest barbecue or patio heater. If you have any other queries on this subject please contact any member of the Towler & Staines team and they will be delighted to help.

A safety message for Calor Gas users from Towler & Staines.

Hopefully, Spring is on the way and our thoughts turn to our outdoor leisure pursuits. We believe that
now is the time for caravanners, motorhome owners and gas barbecue enthusiasts to examine their equipment before the season starts. For safety it is important to examine the gas hose to your appliance(s).

 LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas ) hose should be changed every 5 years to ensure safety in use. Nowadays, it is best to use orange hose as it has a manufacture date on it. In reality it will need to be changed in less than 5 years because there is a period when it is held in stock by the retailer. If your appliance still has black hose, it is highly likely that it needs changing.

LPG hose is made from neoprene, not rubber. This is because LPG attacks rubber and such tubing would rapidly become unsafe when used with Calor Gas.

It is also recommended that your Calor Gas regulator is changed every ten years to ensure safety.
Incidentally you should never use a petroleum based grease such as Vaseline or lubricating grease with an LPG (Calor Gas) regulator as the gas reacts unfavourably with other petroleum based materials.

If in doubt contact the staff at Towler & Staines Calor Gas Dealers in Bradford and Keighley who will be happy to help you.
