Queen street, Newton Abbot, Devon. This church was converted into a commercial premises by a solicitors practice. We're undertaking some urgent high level repairs to the tower. Replacing the parapet gutter leadwork, overhauling the cast iron rainwater goods and repairs to anything else we find while we're up here. One thing's for sure, the lead supporting timberwork will need replacing.

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.

Following on from our last post. We made it up the inside of the tower and out to the base of the spire. We did our survey and enjoyed the views. The rain actually helped in diagnosing some of the water ingress issues. Newton Abbott, Devon.

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.
