Another year another leaky tower. The scaffolders have done a great job getting us up there. Some more site set up to do and then we'll start work.

Queen street, Newton Abbot, Devon It''s not often we work on a privately owned church. This United Reform Church closed in 1984 and was converted to commercial offices. The tower lead is beyond repair and needs replacing. We'll also be working on the tower cast iron rainwater goods which keep blocking and causing further leaks . The scaffolding will be going up in September so we can get the tower dry for the upcoming winter.

St Michaels, Ilsington, Devon. We're restoring and conserving the old school room which sits over the West entrance. Structural repairs and new lathe and plastering inside and out. The timber work in the bay windows is past repairing and will need to be replaced.

This spire and tower has a bad leak. We're about halfway up the inside. I'm not convinced by the platform above we need to access so we can get to an exterior hatch. The ladder isn't ours either. The risk assessments are going to be interesting.

Sacred Heart, Exeter. The paint removal is done and the doors eased so they operate smoothly. They now look as they were originally intended to.

Sacred Heart, Exeter, Devon. The doors were painted some years ago. No one knows why. They look stark and incongruous against the rest of the interior. We're stripping the layers of paint off and we'll then refinish them, to enhance the natural wood.

St Mary with St Andrew, Rockbeare Devon. We've been carrying out some structural underpinning and new drainage works. It's always complicated digging out a new soak away in a graveyard. We have archaeological support as it is inevitable we will uncover something..
