Oak truss roof. External solid Purbeck limestone and Dorset Heath sandstone walls. Double pitched roof with a plain clay tile covering.

Visual analysis and condition survey of the stonework to the internal and external faces of the external walls to determine faults. Condition report, repair drawings, schedule of works and repair specifications for masonry, lime mortar, brickwork and consolidation work.
