In recent years we have carried out much needed repairs to the church roof to ensure that the building is watertight and useful as a vital community space and place of worship. The final stage of repairs involve the aisle roofs, identified by our architect as being in urgent need of repair.

Our architect summarises the problem as follows: “The aisle roof coverings exhibit many defects and there are a large number of slipping / slipped slates most notably to the south side. The aisle roofs are now in most urgent need of recovering and beyond local patching up that has been going on now for many years.” These defects are putting the interior of the building at risk and jeopardising the use of the building as a community space and place of worship.
Our architect has recommended renewing the roof covering with fresh slate as well as works to the adjacent parapet walls, copings and flashings to prevent further water ingress. This will ensure that the building is watertight, wind and weather proof and will preserve the integrity of the building for decades to come. This in turn will ensure that the building can continued to be used as a place of worship and community hub by over 1000 weekly users.
