Church Building Maintenance
This video addresses church maintenance and identifies what the main issues are, how to identify them and how to stop a small problem becoming a big one. This is for anyone involved with the upkeep of the church building.
Watching this video will help you to understand the importance of timely and regular church maintenance and how this can prevent small problems becoming large and costly ones.
This video will demonstrate the importance of maintaining roof coverings, gutters, downpipes and below ground drainage. It will also explain how if left water can damage masonry, cause timber decay and also damage surface finishes.
The importance of repairs using traditional materials is also explored, as well as the need for ventilation and allowing church buildings to breathe in order to maintain a comfortable environment for building users and for the long-term health of the building.
By the end of this video you will have a greater understanding of how to care for your church building.
