Chard has quite a long history, known as Cerdre in the Doomsday Book.
As with many Somerset towns, previous industries in Chard have included textile milling, becoming a centre for lace production in the 19th century.
Chard's main claim to fame is as the birthplace of powered flight. John Stringfellow developed the Aerial Steam Carriage which flew in 1848, inside a disused lace factory.
Chard is more widely known now for the Numatic factory, famous for the smiling vacuum cleaners, including Henry, George and Charles

Richard and his team at UCS are very accommodating and always operate to the highest standard. They are reliable, trustworthy and willing to undertake all jobs. HLM Property Management has no problem in recommending UCS for all their cleaning, gardening and property maintenance work.
I have been working with UCS for over a year now and are so pleased with their work we have transferred a number of new contracts to them. We have always found them reliable, value for money and communicative at all times – would definitely recommend them to any company looking for this type of work.
As a Property Management Company we work with a variety of contractors. Richard and his team at UCS have been carrying out works for us for a number of years and I can say with pride that all the staff are extremely courteous, friendly and polite. If you need something extra doing, the team are always happy to help. I would not hesitate to recommend them to any other Property Management Company, business or resident that requires their services.
We have known Richard from UCS personally for several years now and using the services of the Company on a professional basis for at least 6 years through our Block Management and Lettings business, Sabelwood. We have always found them to be courteous, helpful, trustworthy and reliable whilst providing an excellent service.
Just wanted to say how delighted I am with UCS. Everyone has commented how clean the offices are on a Monday morning after your staff have been, and the high level of service you provide has been consistent throughout the months you've been with us. I will have no hesitation in recommending your company to other businesses and colleagues.
We have dealt with UCS since 2011. We have found them to be organised and helpful. No task is too big or too small and on occasions some of these tasks have not always been the most pleasant. UCS have provided not only the communal area cleaning and window cleaning for four large apartment blocks, but they have also been our eyes on the site, and have reported issues found within the building communal areas, and have on many occasions resolved lighting issues for the safety of the tenants. Each visit they test the fire alarms and report any problems. You really couldn't ask for anymore from them.
On meeting with the residents today, they had nothing but praise, along with me also, regarding the standard of cleaning. The blocks look immaculate every time I go to site to inspect them
