Recent maintenance works – the elevations had generally been coated with unsuitable plastic based paints which were causing dampness internally and deterioration of masonry. The paint coats were removed from the render dash surfaces of the tower using KEIM STS7M paint softeners and high pressure steam. The elevations then received decoration with KEIM Soldalit mineral paints. Phase 1 of the scheme was completed in 2015; the lower sections of the church are to receive similar treatments in the future.
