Repairs
Just as prevention is always better than cure, maintenance is preferable to major repairs. However, repairs may not always be avoidable. The building may develop structural problems, materials eventually wear out, older repairs may contribute to decay, there may be fungal or insect infestations, or the building needs a redecoration.
Whatever the repair needs of your church, it is important to establish the cause of the damage in order to avoid repeated decay and loss of original fabric. Therefore, the first step should always be to consult your architect about any suspected or perceived damage as he can best determine the cause and extent of the damage and advise you on suitable repair methods.
