Ever seen a remote controlled Crane before? The trick was to find a small enough crane to be able to manoeuvre the beam but also be strong enough to carry it up, with the beam weighing in at nearly 300 Kilos we had to make sure we got it right!

The chapel sign has finally arrived! So if you couldn’t find us in Whitchurch before you shouldn’t have any problems now! A rather sizeable 8.5ft tall! Make sure you keep an eye out for us!
MAYbe the busiest month so far
With every month that passes, we get busier and busier. May has seen so many different developments, let’s recap a few! Every aspect of the Chapel build gets our full attention, from the garage doors to the colour of the guttering. Water holes were emptied and filled with concrete before the beams and concrete blocks…
Floor Time
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…

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…
What’s in the boxes Phil?
Phil arrives at the current office with a smile on his face, lets hope what’s inside the boxes will be just as fun to put in! In summer I keep heat out, In winter I block cold air – what am I?
Spot the Difference
What we hope the after picture looks like.. ↑ Using Autodesk Maya we can bring to life the vision we have for the Chapels future. We are in the process of building a second floor to take advantage of the high walls that the Chapel offers, the window shapes will be kept but the inside structure changed, a glass panel on the floor…
