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.

The children are over the moon about their new playground, and are already enjoying safer and more interesting playtime and sports lessons.”

“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.”

“Everyone at Hookway has been great to work with. They have worked closely with us to ensure that every last detail has been agreed and implemented. Thank you - we look forward to working with you again!”

“The new building has been open for over a year and teachers and pupils are still excited about it. It is so well designed in terms of light, space and ventilation that it is a joy to work in. The projecting roof at each end creates fantastic covered play space.”
