If there is genuine emergency work to be undertaken (such as stopping water coming in through the roof) and it needs a Faculty, please follow the following steps.
1. Phone your Archdeacon and inform him or her.
2. Phone the Care of Churches Team and inform them.
3. Send paperwork requesting immediate permission to go ahead to the Registry, with copies to your Archdeacon and the DAC office.
Advice is available on what action to take in advance of a flood warning and what to do when a warning has been issued. Visit the In Depth Advice by Topic page for details.
These are works which must be carried out within 48 hours such as blocked drains, gas leaks, reglazing and the securing of a property after a break-in, leaking pipes or water penetration.
In an emergency contact the Property Department. It is essential to inform them of the problem and seek advice before any work is carried out. The Department is normally staffed 9am-5pm, Monday to Friday. At weekends, please call as soon as possible on Monday.
