Information on Nave Roof Re-tiling
A contract to re-tile the Nave Roof has been signed with a start date of Monday 7th October (duration of project 18weeks) with a finish date of 21st February 2025). This grade 2 listed building was built in 1851 and the original Nave roof will be replaced. The work will be carried out by Ward & co who replaced the Chancel Roof in 2017.
Working arrangements-the Church will not be open to the public for the duration of the project and there will be a corrugated 4-metre-high wall around the Nave and a corrugated roof put in place. The side gate will be used for unloading/loading materials and the timber blocks removed. Construction vehicles will be parked by the Lych Gate. Working will be between 7.30am and 4.30pm. Weekend working is not expected.
