Overview

Hookway have worked with church organisations since the inception of the company in 1950. 

We have acted as surveyors in the construction of a number of Catholic, Anglican and Methodist churches and worship centres as well as significant number of modernisation projects to allow them to have buildings which allowed them to meet the needs of their local communities. 

 

Our approach

We understand the philosophy and aspirations that church communities bring to their building projects and are committed to supporting them in achieving their goals. 

Church projects often require the control of finances to be even more robust than normally required for commercial business projects. We understand that very often the client bodies do not have regular experience of dealing with building issues and we offer comprehensive support in dealing with problems and a proactive pursuit of appropriate solutions throughout the project.

Testimonial

“Hookway came highly recommended and we are absolutely delighted with the project.”

“Our old sports hall has now been transformed into a multi-purpose performance space with a professional stage lighting and sound rig. What a transformation! Tom Bishop from Hookway listened very carefully to our requirements and then went about designing the new Norton Hill Arts Theatre. With cherry panelling and sound absorbent materials the main room has amazing acoustics, perfect for concerts and performances alike.”

“This year we had two bids totalling over a one million pounds for Lawn Manor. Our new boilers and plant, and new roof projects have gone completely smoothly, safely and within budget.”

“Tom's advice and guidance, were as usual exemplary and he helped trouble-shoot any practical problems that arose to get the work completed on time and in budget. ”

“Hookway worked in close partnership with us and carefully managed a range of trades and contractors. Greg Smith, Hookway’s Surveyor, met with my team regularly and always acted upon any feedback shared; he cared passionately about the quality of the work and made sure that it was completed to an excellent standard.’”

“Hookway have been fantastic for us, they have prepared all of our bids and CIF has made huge difference to our buildings over recent years. ”
