After the holes in the floor were emptied of water the concrete went in..finally! The concrete needed to dry first, then the beams were put in place ready for the blocks to slide in. Then the satisfying moment of smoothing the concrete on-top of the long awaited floor! We have to admit, its…

April Showers
April had many hurdles to overcome, mainly with the floor. With the increased amount of water seeping in from the River Test, filling the holes in the Chapel, even the digger struggled not to sink through the floor. All that soil has to go somewhere.. We are thankful April came with a new roof !…
Waiting for the concrete
The River Test flows through Whitchurch, and apparently our floors in the Chapel… Today we are removing the water from the holes and then filling them with concrete to ensure the water is locked out. Only problem is, the concrete hasn’t arrived yet, could be an issue if the water starts to creep back in.. Hurry…
Ground Designs
You’ve seen the first floor, now it’s time to have a look at our plans for the ground floor. Here is a more detailed look at the floor plan ↓ Make sure you visit our blog regularly so you can be kept up to date on all things Chapel!
Roof Roof
The main Chapel roof is on, and in only one day! How you ask? By using Nulok roofing system! Firstly Nulok battens are fixed to the rafters in the conventional way, replacing traditional timber battens. Then specially designed Link Channels are snap fitted to the battens to form an interlocking grid system. And finally our slates are slotted…
March Madness
March has certainly been a busy month! We’ve had rain, we’ve had sun, windows have been put in, tiles have been delivered, holes made and much more… Early March, people on the roof insulating and securing it. Ian inside the roof with a hammer and bolster cutting bricks, repairing the brickwork inside. Worker’s digging…
The Stages
As with any design, you’re constantly developing your ideas to create something that is unique, which inevitably will have a story behind it. Initially the design of the 1st floor was a lot more basic, but using design software we were able to see in advance how it would look. With that we could change the design before…
What goes up…
Can’t come down. One way of getting the slates up to the roof! Can’t wait to see what it looks like when it’s all done, let’s hope we don’t get a sudden downpour of rain..
