Project Development
The Guildhall
Work has started on the grade 1 listed guild hall to do some necessary conservation work on both the interior and exterior of the building. A survey was conducted on the building by the Local Conservation officer as there were obvious damp spots starting to appear on the rear of the hall and places where the plaster on the internal roof had deteriorated. The conclusion of the survey was to approve measures to put this right. Externally the jobs that were necessary and approved were:
- Repairing the two rear downspouts, as this was the cause of the damp issue
-
Replacing the render in the brickwork around the effected areas to weatherproof the area.
-
Repairing the wooden window frames in sections and repainting them in keeping with appearance of the building
The jobs that were deemed necessary to conduct on the interior were.
-
Mending the holes in the Guildhall ceiling
-
Removal of the modern heaters that are causing warpage to the wood panelling
-
Some minor repairs to the woodwork within the hall itself.
It is important to note that all work has been done following guidance from the Conservation Officer and that all items and fitting of historical value that were necessary to remove in the renovation have been carefully stored to retain the integrity of the Building and its historical value.
