- We need advice on the correct paint to use on the building to avoid the problems that have ruined the ceiling. Modern paints/stains should be OK but technical advice would be welcome.
- We need a specialist joiner to repair the windows. The wood is pitch pine and actually very durable. However, one or two windows will need some extensive repair.
