B & E Boys Construction complete work to St Annes Church, Edgeside, Waterfoot.

Monday, March 8th, 2010

Renovation and improvement work to St Annes Church, Waterfoot completed.

B & E Boys have now completed work at the above church creating a new entrance, kitchen and toilet facility at the front of the church BUT with a twist. Architects Anthony Grimshaw Associates and the forward thinking Rev Rod Beavan came up with the idea the new space should look like the hull of the Arc from the front of the Church.

The complicated structure has been erected using structural steel and timber and encompasses a new Kitchen and Servery, disabled toilet and cloakroom facilities.

Before any work could commence the old floor was excavated and replaced by a new floor construction accommodating under floor heating. The new heating is a far more efficient way of heating large areas such as the Church. Other works included redecoration, damp proof works to external walls, roof insulation, electrical, mechanical and drainage works.

B & E Boys are well versed at undertaking work in Church buildings and have successfully converted the formed St James Church in Waterfoot and St Marys Chambers in Rawtenstall into office accommodation.
