WORK has started on renewing the church roof at St Luke’s in Langley.

Local builder Neil Cocking has sourced roofing material in keeping with the heritage and integrity of the building. He has incorporated a damp-proofing system and is treating the timber as it is revealed, making good any issues as he replaces the roof.

The Up on the Roof Fund has benefited from a grant of £8,000 from the Fairfield Trust, private donations and the proceeds of the St Luke’s fete and barbecue held in July.
