Gable restoration at Wokingham Baptist Church

CompleteHeritage and Listed Building Leadwork · WokinghamCompleted December 2024

The coping stones on the gables of Wokingham Baptist Church, a listed building, had reached the end of their life. We took them down, made local slate repairs with new soakers, and fitted new lead capping and flashings under handmade Portland stone, working within the heritage rules for the building.
