Ecclesiastical Experience
Supporting Places of Worship of All Denominations
Chawton Hill’s years of ecclesiastical experience has helped us to successfully deliver multiple projects such as church halls, extensions and community buildings. Whether working within conservation or greenbelt areas, we have a refined strategy that works within the ecclesiastical sector. Let us support you with project management, cost control and quinquennial or planned maintenance surveys.
Should you be thinking of a new or refurbished church building, or advice on maintenance and repair, take a look at our dedicated guide to church projects here.
Our Approach
Our approach to sympathetic design & use of innovative techniques and materials minimise the impact of new or redeveloped premises. We specify the latest energy-efficient and programmable lighting, underfloor heating and solar glazing that exceeds thermal requirements for building regulations.
Our space planning systems maximise the available accommodation. Using extensive experience, we effectively plan works on occupied sites and in close proximity to neighbouring properties, keeping disruption and inconvenience to a minimum. For us, the starting point is how can we create a building that answers your challenges.
An initial requirement may be more space. But often through our ISO:9001 certified consultation and project management processes, we uncover many other requirements for us to consider and suggest practical, affordable solutions.
Among Chawton Hill’s team are experts in planned maintenance and Quinquennial Inspection Reports. These provide a graded and prioritised list of any required church repairs and planned maintenance. They cover areas such as the general repair of the building, maintenance, sustainability, safety of the structure, unsafe floors and access.
Award Winning Success
The project we supported at Oakhall church a few years ago won best public service building in the 2019 Local Authority Building Control Awards in the South East.
Please see our Oakhall Church post for more details including what the team at Oakhall had to say about the project.
