Church Maintenance
Our churches don’t look after themselves
We are always at work in the background, repairing, conserving, upgrading and generally keeping the churches neat, tidy and safe.
These are some of the jobs recently tackled.
Old Front Entrance
The rotten facade of the old front entrance was removed, new timbers used to re-build and modern plastic fascia and soffit to finish. Old unsafe pyro cable was professionally removed and replaced with new LED downlighters and PIR switches. New UPVC windows installed to replace original rotten wooden frames.
Most of the rot was on the left hand side
Roof support timbers were okay but the original rafters had extensive dry rot
RHS exposed
A glimpse of 1960's 'pyro' electric cable still in place. Now professionally upgraded.
Good roof cladding
Original window frames also rotten
Repairs needed to rafters
