The case study

01

The situation

Ottery St Mary URC Church is a listed building in regular use. It has to be ready for services and welcoming for the groups that use it, and its pews, floors and corners need a method that suits an older building rather than the strongest product on the van.

02

What we do

We clean the church around its services and its congregation, agreeing times and access in advance. The detail matters in a building like this. The photographs show a painted corner with debris gathered along the skirting, and the same corner afterwards. The pulpit, fittings and floors get the same attention as the corners nobody sees until they are done.

03

The result

The worship space, halls and shared areas are kept ready for the next service or group, cleaned by the same small team and agreed in writing.

Before and after
