Churches

Churches are doubly important as they are often the oldest and most significant historic building within each parish while also being the centre and focus for the local community. They are also often the victim of past neglect and previous badly executed repairs as well as being starved of funding. It is therefore important that the advice we provide is both appropriate for the building and the funds available to them to ensure their long-term maintenance. Our general knowledge of historic buildings and the understanding of their construction is therefore vital to provide appropriate and cost-effective repairs. Here again, our knowledge and expertise comes to the fore to assist those charged with the care of these much loved buildings and to assist the church's Architects or Surveyors.
