My handbrake cables keep loosing tension at the adjustment end, I have adjusted shoes 1st then adjusted cable but after about three weeks one has to re adjust cables as handbrake lever has excess travel, any ideas?

Could be your cables are stretching; in which case renewal of these are the answer.
