The brickwork at the top of the walls inside the eaves are being conserved and repaired. The top coarse of bricks are lose and need to be re-laid on mortar.
The ends of the tie beams are being treated with wood preserver to extend their life and prevent decay of future years.
It is possible to see the difference between the gutter arrangements at the front and rear of the chapel.
On the Jackson Pit elevation a stone gutter is still in place. Though this is not able to carry away the rainwater that is caught be the roof and has been dripping water down the rear wall over the years. the stone gutter is being re-made in fresh stone.
On the George Street elevation at the front of the building the stone gutter was replaced by an iron gutter that was carried on a wooden box fascia.
A stone gutter will be replaced here to match the Jackson Pit elevation.
