The
work at St. Cadoc{s Church has been done to a very high standard, and
as important for us, with great consideration for local people and
visitors using the church and for the population of rare bats which had
to be protected. The work started and finished on the agreed dates and
there were no hidden extras.

We recently employed Thorteck as the Main
contractor for maintenance works to St. Mary’s ParishChurch,
Newent.Most
of the work was at high level requiring specialist access provided by
Thorteck, or in areas of High Risk around the bells, or above the
ceiling requiring the provision and use of safety harnesses at all
times.The work required a high level of co ordination and
flexibility to ensure completion for Sunday services.
The
church fabric involved in this work all dates from 1675 or before, and
required a considerable amount of care and protection.
The
work by Thorteck was completed entirely to our satisfaction, requiring
creative and innovative approaches to the difficult access situations
whilst at all times ensuring safety of the workers and the church.The
work was completed on time such that normal services could resume on
Sunday as planned, and the work was completed to cost and within
budget.Thorteck were very attentive to the needs of the church as a
place of worship and as a building of historic importance.The site was
kept secure at all times and was left clean & tidy on completion,
such that the church cleaners were very impressed.
I found Steve
Burchell the Director of Thorteck professional, honest, open, concerned
for the church, attentive to our needs, very straightforward, and easy
to deal with; this attitude also extended to all his staff and
particularly the foreman employed on the work, they were competent in
all respects and I would be very pleased to have them work for us again
in the future.
