The UK is home to some of the most iconic buildings in the world, from stunning churches and cathedrals to historic stately homes.

Traditional Lime
Lime: it’s better for buildings – and for the environment
It is now fairly well known that cement is not good for old buildings and that lime mortar should be used. But why? What are the advantages and what are the disadvantages?

Insurance
You need to ensure that reasonable precautions are in place at your church to keep it safe for those who use it. To do this, you need to think about what might cause harm to people.

Lead Roofing
Lead is one of the oldest materials in the roofing industry and is still commonly used throughout the world today.
Lead roofing is a traditional roofing method which has been used in the industry for hundreds of years, and is therefore proven to be extremely reliable. Lead roofing, and sand-cast lead, in particular is ideal for old buildings such as churches or historical renovations, whereas milled lead roofing is a mass-produced alternative, used for precision and accuracy in homes and commercial buildings alike.

Church Heating Design & Installation by Mellor and Mottram
Company Background
Mellor & Mottram Mechanical Services Ltd were established in 1973.
The company was originally run by Roger Mottram and Jack Mellor who are now both retired. The company is now run by Stuart Mottram who personally looks after all interest in the company and also carries out all surveys on a one to one basis with clients.
We originally carried out work installing industrial and commercial central heating systems to factories and commercial premises. With various contracts we also carried out large pipework installations and also very large heating installations from low pressure hot water systems to medium temperature hot water systems.
Within a few years of being established we were asked to carry out work on ecclesiastical projects such as churches and all the buildings associated with them. All of the jobs that we now carry out are church projects, varying from simple boiler services to installation of large central heating systems, we also carry out repairs to existing cast iron systems. We are still doing boiler servicing within churches and also boiler changes, warm air system installations, we also supply and install gas fired convector systems.
We pride ourselves in the quality of our works and also the quality of our installations.
