## **SIR WARWICK HELE ALMSHOUSE TRUST** 

Clerk’s Report for the year ending 31[st] December 2025 

We seem to have had a busy and expensive year covering different aspects of essential maintenance. We had a fire risk assessment done in April, Lee Fleming did an excellent job of painting the exterior in August, and the deteriorating lead gulley adjacent to the chapel roof was replaced in the Autumn by Stay Dry Roofing. 

Sadly we lost long term resident Mrs. Ray Mayhew in November. On clearing out No 1, we found there was a serious issue with vermin chewing the electric cables in the loft area. This necessitated rodent control and removing all the old loft insulation, before the electrician could repair the cables. While only the roof spaces above No1 and 2 were affected, we felt it prudent to check and re- insulate above all the cottages. 

No1 cottage has been renovated, painted throughout and new kitchen and shower room fitted. New resident Mrs Janet Shilcott has recently moved in on 12[th] March. A new storage heater has been installed in No1.  The heaters in all the cottages were fitted at the same time many years ago, and they are coming to the end of life. 

We are working through the fire risk recommendations with new fire alarms connected to the electricity and guaranteed ten year life batteries fitted in all cottages. Fire doors and resistant loft hatches are pending for the coming year. 

The general maintenance has been well taken care of by John Wood, and the grounds well looked after by Hugh Niven. Chris Hobbs in No2 has recently celebrated his 90[th] birthday. Peter Chapman in No3 has not been so well of late.               Robert Rowland Clerk to Trustees
