This Grade I listed property is suffering from an inappropriate lead gutter installation dating from 1997. Historically, the building would have shed water naturally through drip moulds, stone spouts and rain chains, without the need for continuous guttering.
The existing gutters are now defective, trapping and misdirecting water, and placing significant historic fabric at risk. Sensitive repairs and the reinstatement of traditional water-shedding details are essential to safeguard the building’s architectural and heritage significance.

Surveyed in 2025, this church was suffering from water ingress via the rainwater goods and historic application of gypsum plaster was exacerbating the issue. A schedule of works was issued to a capable, local contractor with experience of heritage and ecclesiastical buildings, and most importantly: LIME.🍋‍🟩

2026, the rainwater goods and internal walls have been repaired, as if nothing has ever happened. This time benefiting from a breathable lime render.

Church is now ready to play host to weddings this spring/summer ☀️

Plenty of progress made throughout the winter months. First fix electrics & plumbing in full flow; ground source heat pump being installed; limecrete floor installed; central valley area re-covered; new windows; re building of chimneys; new drainage system installed. Looking forward to warmer weather and seeing the property burst into life ☀️

Final full week at the office of 2025. We’d like to thank all of our clients, contractors and specialists we’ve worked with this year. Here’s to an even bigger 2026! 🎄

Plenty of progress being made project managing an extensive refurbishment at a property in North Yorkshire!

Enjoying the warm dry weather ☀️

☠️ All asbestos (lots of it) has been safely removed from the building. The heating pipes were lagged in the material throughout the ground floor.

🌳 A dangerous beech tree has been felled and we intend to plank it up, leave to dry for a year with a view to use inside the house.

💧 Rainwater goods have been stripped shot blasted, primed and decorated in the original ‘lizard’ colour.

🧱 Great progress being made on the raking out of all cement based mortar from the building.

🔥 Three hot mixed lime mortar samples, each with a different pozzolan applied to the wall and a decision made, just need the weather to cool off a little before re-pointing starts!

🪵 Some of the rotten timber fascia boards have been marked for replacement. Happy to say most can be repaired.
