You should make sure that your professional adviser is also aware of this guidance.  \nModest spending on regular maintenance can reduce the need for costly repairs, protect the fabric of your place of worship and save you money in the longer term. Although maintenance costs themselves do not qualify for a grant, this scheme aims to help congregations prepare appropriate and cost-effective long-term maintenance plans for their places of worship.  \nAll grants are based on a two-stage process.We offer stage-one project-development funding for those projects that successfully meet our assessment tests and seem most likely to qualify for a stage-two grant towards the main repairs.  \nPreparing a costed 10-year maintenance plan is part of the project development stage. Once therepair work has been completed, you will need to:  \n❋ put the agreed maintenance plan into practice;  \n❋ keep a logbook of the maintenance you have carried out; and  \n❋ send us a return each year that we will send you to confirm that you have met this requirement.  \nThe aim of this leaflet is to help you and your professional adviser to prepare a costed 10-year maintenance plan which meets the conditions of the grant scheme.  \n 2   \n\n| What is maintenance?\u003Cbr>Maintenance is the routine, everyday work which is needed to protect the fabric of a building.When carried out on a planned basis, maintenance helps prevent the types of failure which can happen to a building.\u003Cbr>Maintenance falls into three main categories:\u003Cbr>❋ Inspection to assess the condition of a building, report any problems and decide whether repair or other work is needed;\u003Cbr>❋ Specific tasks such as testing building services and clearing rubbish from gutters;\u003Cbr>❋ Minor repairs such as fixing slipped slates, replacing broken glass and making temporary ‘flashband’ repairs to leadwork.\u003Cbr>Maintenance is different to repair, which is work carried out to put right faults, significant decay or damage, and work to return a building to a good condition on a long term basis.You should not include repairs in your maintenance plan.\u003Cbr>Why do you need a maintenance plan?\u003Cbr>After your project has been completed, it is a condition of our grant offer that you put the agreed maintenance plan into action.We will send you a return each year for you to confirm that you have met this requirement.This means that, for the purposes of this grant scheme, your maintenance plan should only apply to the building for which you received agrant.Your plan should not include the contents of your place of worship.\u003Cbr>However, it is in the interest of your place of worship that you carry out regular maintenance of all the buildings that you are responsible for, such as the vicarage or | church hall, the churchyard wall, lychgate, gravestones or paths, or the contents of your place of worship.We would encourage you to include these items in your maintenance plan. However, you should identify them separately because their maintenance will not be a condition of our grant offer. It is also a good idea fora conservation-accredited architect or Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors conservation-accredited building surveyor to carry out a condition survey of your place of worship every five years.This survey will be a good way of showing how effective your maintenance plan has been. You should not use your maintenance plan as a replacement for constant care.\u003Cbr>Identifying the maintenance tasks\u003Cbr>Your costed maintenance plan, which your professional adviser must prepare, should contain the following information:\u003Cbr>Building element\u003Cbr>You should identify each element of the building, including:\u003Cbr>❋ Roofs;\u003Cbr>❋ Systems for getting rid of","cbCaibGiW6xIVKG9","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibGiW6xIVKG9","pdf",559632,"English","# Introduction\n## Maintenance plans and grant scheme requirements\n# What is maintenance?\n## Three categories of maintenance\n## Difference between maintenance and repair\n# Identifying maintenance tasks\n## Building elements\n## Maintenance tasks\n## Responsibility and frequency\n# Writing a 10-year maintenance plan\n## Scheduling tasks across the year","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of a 10-year maintenance plan under the grant scheme?\",\"answer\":\"It helps congregations prepare a costed long-term maintenance plan that meets grant conditions and ensures appropriate, cost-effective maintenance is carried out over time.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the maintenance plan need to be handled after repairs are completed?\",\"answer\":\"Agreed maintenance must be put into practice, a logbook of completed maintenance kept, and an annual return submitted to confirm the requirement has been met.\"},{\"question\":\"What does “maintenance” include and how is it different from “repair”?\",\"answer\":\"Maintenance covers routine, planned work such as inspections, specific tasks (e.g., testing services and clearing gutters), and minor repairs.
