New heating

The work has actually started. On Monday last engineers appeared on the scene and began the preliminary works. The project is to replace totally the central heating and all domestic and other water supplies for the Church, Becket Centre and Friary. The estimated duration is something in the region of 20 weeks.

The first stage to be addressed is the church and Blessed Sacrament Chapel. This week they will begin stripping out the old piping. So the church will be without any heat for several weeks. Further detail will gradually become clear. In the interest of completing the work as soon as possible we will give the engineers total access to the church through the working week. So no services during normal working hours. The only exception will be for funerals, which will still be conducted within the necessary covid restrictions.

We will provide regular updates about the project and for Becket Centre Users we will let you know what restrictions will apply once the work moves to that area.
