Free: 4 downlighters (Kenilworth CV8) IP65 and fire rated so good for bathrooms but can be used in any room. However they've started to go rusty. I have given one a bit of a polish on half of it with a cloth and brasso and it had come somewhat cleaner (see photo) but could do with a little more work, possibly with some 000 wire wool and more brasso! Takes GU10 bulbs (not included).

Free: Two Grey shaggy rugs (Kenilworth CV8) Gifted Two identical IKEA gaser rugs 56x150cm according to the label but that's the size of the backing; because of the pile they measure about 64x158cm on the floor. Very good condition though would probably benefit from a good beating! Quite hard to vacuum because of the long pile. Just been retired from our bedside. About 7 years old. 100% polypropylene pile. Available for collection from Monday 26th October.

Request: Two small wheels about 5" - 6" diameter (Kenilworth CV8) Expired Image is just something I found on the internet. They don't have to match in colour but the size should please. Wanted to upcycle onto a mobile planter box

57d

Free: Lindam pressure fit stairgate (Kenilworth CV8) Gifted We got this off Freegle when our grandkids were younger but they can now open it themselves so time to pass it on. Fits gaps between 76cm and 82cm (no extensions). It was missing an M10 nut when we got it so I used a t-nut instead because that's what I had (see photo). Also missing the cups which can be screwed into the frame to make it more secure. Similar to the munchkin available from Argos where the instructions can be found for fitting

63d

Free: Caravan awning suction pads (Kenilworth CV8) Withdrawn Two off only. These don't appear to be made of the poorer perishable rubber. N.b. these only fit 3/4" (19mm) frame tubes. Brand new and unused, the supplier sent me the wrong size for my awning but didn't want them back when they sent out the correct size.

Free: Toddler kitchen helper stool (Kenilworth CV8) Gifted Safely raises a toddler to worktop height for kitchen activities. Home made from two wooden IKEA stools and an MDF panel for the platform.

Free: Kitchen tap (Kenilworth CV8) Gifted 10 years old, could do with a service at the rotary joint at the top of the stem (leaks a little, new o-ring and a grease needed) and a descale around the lever. You could probably get away with reusing the flex pipes

272d

Free: Spice rack (Kenilworth CV8) Gifted Fits into a 150mm wide base unit, attached to the side so best installed before you build up the cabinet! Can be hung from either the left or right hand. Only a 10 inch movement so quite difficult to see and get to the jars at the back. No instructions. Baskets only hooked to the frame so could be used separately.

Request: Kenilworth King George Tomato Seeds (Kenilworth CV8) Received We've heard that there used to be areas of Kenilworth that produced lots of tomatoes and the King George variety is specific to here, We would love to have a go at growing these tomatoes but we cant find any seeds available commercially. Anyone out there got any seeds we could have to try?

Free: Delonghi ECC221.B Espresso Coffee Maker (Kenilworth CV8) Gifted Includes single and double shot baskets, scoop and milk frothing jug. Last used 6th January 2026. Not sure how long before it will need a descale. Minor issue is that it drips about a teaspoon of water from the steam wand when making the coffee. I think this could be repaired but it involves dismantling the machine to get to the valve.
