    More re-pointing.

    30th April 2021 /

    Last week we welcomed back steeplejacks Sam, James and Mike to complete repairs on the more hard to reach areas of the church. The north-east finials were in dire need of re-pointing as water ingress was becoming more of an obvious problem. After a busy week, and with Karl working on one of the easier to reach finials, the north…

    Tower repairs.

    8th December 2020 /

    One major aspect of the restoration of Christ Church is the repair of the Tower. It is the part of the building that causes the most worry, especially during a stromy night! At 110ft tall access is clearly an issue. In the past we have hired a cherry picker to get to where we can to check over the stonework…

The north aisle roof is now watertight after a great week’s work by Henry Powell Roofing Contractors of Oswestry. And while it is scaffolded there are lots of other repairs and maintanence jobs we can finally get done over the coming weeks, not least…

    Up in the Air

    12th March 2019 /

    A few weeks ago we hired a ‘cherry picker’ to access the higher reaches of the building to do some re-pointing and to check over the guttering. We were able to get a lift that goes higher (up to 21 metres) than we have previously been able to which was great for reaching the nave roof guttering and for getting…
