St Andrews Re-Roofing Project
As many of you know the flat roof on the church building is nearing the end of its expected life. In the past few years we have had the roof repaired several times and regularly inspected. Based on these inspections Parish Council has decided to proceed with re-roofing the entire roof this summer. In addition we plan to replace the two skylights over the entrance hall and replace the fasteners on the metal church roof.
This is a major project and we have contracted with 21st Century Roofers (located in Langley) to undertake the work in late June or early July depending on the weather.
Pictures of existing roof and skylights
The roofers will use a layer of SBS elastomeric bitumen (similar to the existing roofing material) which will be thermofused to the existing roofing creating a multilayer roof that should be trouble free for another 20 years.
The cost of the project is expected to be about $75,000.
We currently have enough money in the Building Fund to carry out this work but will be left with only about $20,000 to manage any unexpected building costs going forward.
Parish Council felt that it was important to ensure the integrity of the building before looking at upgrading the flooring and carrying out any other interior work.
We will, however, continue to discuss and plan the interior projects through out 2021 and we expect to have a proposal in place for consideration at the Vestry meeting, next February.
We believe that with the generous financial support of the congregation to the Building Fund over the coming months, we will be able to move forward with these projects, hopefully by mid 2022.
