External renovations

The Reef scaffolded

The Reef is currently scaffolded while we undertake essential renovation work to the exterior of the building.

Update 10th July

We’re pleased to say the work completed to plan…

  • We’ve replaced all the external render which was unsuitable for our building.
  • We’ve replaced the soffits and fascia boards which were in a poor state of repair.
  • We’ve repaired and painted the exterior window frames and door frames.
  • The scaffolding has now all been removed.

Thank you to all our regular hirers for your ongoing support during this period, we hope you agree it’s been worth it !

We would like to thank Dorset Council for providing a grant of £10,000 towards the cost of this major renovation project, from their Capital Leverage Fund.  The total cost came to about £57,000 with the rest of the money coming from donations and our reseves.
