St Helier Methodist Centre - refurbishment and new community hall
The existing church, built in 1847, was lovingly restored including the creation of a new creche. The overall aim of the project was to consolidate the original Wesley Grove Methodist Church and the erstwhile Aquila Methodist Centre. This was achieved with the construction of a new contemporary community hall and facilities linked to the existing church.

This page contains documentation explaining our work processes. The aim of which is to give you a concise framework of guidelines to the legislative and practice processes which we follow. Each Project is different and carries its own inherent nuances, but we hope that these guidelines will give you valuable insight when planning your own project with the processes and time periods involved. The Building Industry is unique in operation and we will endeavour to guide you through it.
