11. Report on the Fabric. Goods and Omaments
St Peter's Church and Church Centre
Energy Efficiency.. Sl Peter s Church nave & lower and Ihe church centre are heated by hvo
separaiè gas boiler systems. The nave & lower are healed by a non-condensing commercial gas
boiler. while the church centre is healed by a domestic condensing gas boiler. Both boilers are
serviced annually and remain well wilhin Iheir working lifespan. provided they are regulady
ainlained. Holvever. the larger commercial ga5 boiler recently experieneed an issue with one of
ils hvo circulaling pumps, which seized and slopped working. The other pump is still functioning.
bul the lack of a backup pump poses a risk lo the contsnuous operation ol Ihe healing system.
There are two potential solutions lo resolve this issue-
Direct replacement ol Ihe faully pump.
Upgradelreplace Ihe boiler wilh two energy-efficienl condensing gas boilers 12 x 30kWI.

Al this stage. option 1 is the prelerred course of action. as il is more cosl-effective and provides
addilional lime lo consider future greener and more sustainable heating solutions.
Audiovisual.. Following improvement works carried out lo the sound syslem al Sl Peler's, the PCC
has approved phase Iwo of the project. which includes removal of the large projector screen al the
front of the church and the addition of several large screens al the front wilh repeater screens along
the aisles. To secure DAC approval for the work. the bundle ol wires running al high level across
the front of the chancel musl be removed and ￿rOUted. We are currently seeking quotations Irom
local commercial eleclricians lo carry out the rewiring work.
Kitchen.. Several ilems of equipment in Ihe kitchen were replaced last year, induding the
dishwasher and waler boiler. General maintenance and DIY repairs have also been undertaken,
such as replaang leaking kitchen taps, installing a mixer tsp, and repairs to a ceiling light and the
exlraclor fan filler.
Church Tower and Nave= A uacked cast iron downpipe in the lower was temporarily patched
and is awailing replacemenl. Two new hydraulic amis were filled to Ihe heavy lower hatch door to
make il easier lo open and lo facilitste regular maintenance of the towers flat roof.
Church CentTe-. The fire alarm panel was replaced due lo a persistent ballery fault. Our thanks go
lo Howard Goldsmith and his team of volunteers for redecorating the main meeting room, foyer.
welcome area and corridor ofthe church cenlre during the summer. A persislenl leak in Ihe corridor
ceiling was identified as emanating from a drain cover on the flat roof and was repaired during the
summer. However. the leak reappeared during the prolonged subzero lemperalures. likely due lo
frozen ice eausing a crack in the lining of the pvc nal roof adjacent to the drain cover. It is hoped
Ihal applying a layer of sealant lo the crack will resolve the issue. The secondary pump and
Honeywell limer on the church cenlre hol bvaler system were replaced and a lap was installed on
the hot water lank lo aid filling of the baplisffl pool. The track of the partition doors beiween the
main meeting Toom and the foyer has become warped. causing issues wilh moving and closing the
hea￿ partition doors. This is believed lo be due lo crumbling of Ihe concrete floor below the track.
Due to difficulties in sourcing replacement metal track, we are looking lo repair the concrete floor
and regularly lubricate the track lo improve funclionalily.
Quinquennial Building Inspection SuNey (August 20241- The following suminary outlines the
key findings and recommendations from the survey:
Church Inlerior..
Chancel-. Address black mould odour by improving airfiow.
Ground Floor Corridor.. Refix loose boxing.
Boiler Room. Verify the presen￿ of an aulomalic gas shut-off valve.
Church Exterior..
Flat Roof Above Corridor.. Repair the leak by removing Ihe drain cover and applying sealant
(Arbokol 10001.
Flat Roof Above Corridor. Patch Sanafil roofing Material.
North Elevation.. Repair flashing above the north aisle roof using polysulphide maslic.
North Wall.. Seal the moving mullion and repair broken rainwater éownpipe bcackels.
Soulh Elev31ion". Replace missing tiles. monitor slipped liles and obtain quotes for roof repairs.
Soulh A1s1e Roof.. Remove cemenl pointing and fill crevices with polysulphide mastic.
Page 15

Tower Wesl Side.- Repair pointing ID flashing.
Soulh Elevalion - Guller: Replace the collapsing guller.
Tower.. Replace the damaged corner brick on the southwest buttre5S.
Church Roof Easl ol Tower.. Reposition displaced tiles and replace missing liles.
Easl Elevation- Replace missing liEes on the extension building.
Overall=
The findings of the Quinquennial Report were largely anlicipaled. and the recommendations have
less impact than expected. Many of the issues identified in the first half ol the report can be
addressed through DIY efforts. For more serious issues. such as roofing and guttering repairs, we
are already in the process of obtaining quoles for the repairof the soulhside lower roof tiles, pointing
of the flashing and guttering.
Plans for the Coming Year
Following Ihe recommendalions of the recenl Quinquennial Report120241, it has been advised lo
replace and repair the cracked rool tiles rather than undertake a complete reroofing. Quolalions for
the roofing work will be sought from competent roofing companies in the coming year.
St Mark's Church
This building is ovmed and maintained by the NHS. which has the benefit of removing several
responsibilities from the PCC, but also slows the pace al which opportunities can be progressed.
During 2024 the ovèrhead gas fired heaters failed. requiring the church to meet in a Seminar room
in the hospital. This issue is being overseen by Ihe NHS Eslales Team. Investigations and polenlial
solutions are being worked up by the Eslales Team. We continue to apply pressure lo work towards
a long-lerm healing solution.
12. Financial Review of the Year
Total funds received in 2024 were £287.223 of which £240,765 were unreslricled, £41.337 were
restricted and £5,121 were Sl Mlark's. The decrease in total funds received belween 2023 and
2024 was £33.742. This decrease was due lo the generous response of one-off donations following
Ihe stewardship campaign in 2023 and receipt of a subslanlial legacy in December 2023.
Total expenditure in 2024 was £242.748-, an increase of £24,344111 Yol compared lo 2023. This
Ivas mainly due lo the general increase in c051s along with maintenance of the boiler system and
fire alarm.
The net movement in unrestricted funds was an increase of £42,636 during the year which resulted
in an unrestricted lund balance of £252,402 carried forward into 2025.
In 2024 Sl Peler s gave £21274 as mission lithe dislribuled as follovis-. £.1042_06 to Sireel Kids
Direct.. £401 2.00 lo Open Doors.. r5743.98 to Yeldall Ivlanor. £5743.98 to Chriilian Connections in
Schools and £1701.92 to Recharg- R&R. In addition. St N.1arit s gave £339.00 shared equally
beN%'een Alexander Devine Children s Hospice and Thames Hospice. This iijas given out ol the
mission lithe of £21613 for 2023.

Rese￿eS PoSi¢y
The PCC policy is lo hold in reserve the equivalenl of a slep reduction in income o1200/& for 6
months and lo cover any conlraclual obligalions whilst action Is taken lo reduce oulgoings and
appeals are made for increasing voluniary income_ 11 is also our policy lo hold an amount lo meet
urgent and unexpected building works and lo fund essential building improvements. The curyenl
level of reserves is higher than that required by the Reserves Policy. The PCC has plans lo use
reserves for funding further mission and minislry projecls over the period 2025 10 2030.
Going Concern
The Truilees have considered the financial position al the year end and consider that Ihe financial
slalements should be prepared on a going concern basis.

Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Direciions given ty the Charity

ot any unusual iiems or disclosures in the accounts. and seeking explaa2tions from you as
