which are rotten, we need to apply for planning permission from the local borough council. Currently IIMS is in discussion with the conservation planning officer at Fareham Council to seek the necessary permissions.

THERE’S PLENTY OF BUILDING WORK TO DO AT MURRILLS HOUSE NOW THE INSTITUTE OWNS THE PROPERTY
As the Institute has finally taken ownership in recent weeks of Murrills House as its new flagship headquarters, the work to restore this magnificent Grade II listed, 500-year-old building to its former glory will begin shortly. Completion on the deal took far longer than was anticipated, but the outcome marks something of a triumph for the Institute. IIMS is soon to make a significant financial investment in essential maintenance and repair work which will only add to the value of this new asset.
Discussions have taken place with a local construction firm and the scope of work has been drawn up and agreed. The building survey threw up some key maintenance work that needs to be done with a degree of urgency, but nothing that was a major surprise to the team. Because the property is a Grade II listed building, it means for some items, such as replacement of the old wooden windows
- Any slipped and broken slates will be made good, replace all cracked and slipped clay tiles on the rear extension and repoint the ridge.
- Re connect the rear down pipe to run down the roof and into the guttering.
- Repair the cracks in the render on the front rounded elevation of the property.
- Supply and fit an ACCO drainage system to the east elevation along the tarmac footpath to take any surface water away from the building.
- Repair cracked soffit where soffit brackets are fixed, supply and fit 3 new vents to the extension soffits.
- Supply and fit a 200mm layer of quilted loft insulation to the 100mm of existing insulation. Spray all timbers in the loft with a wood boring insect treatment and rot treatment, supply and fit 4x vented roof tiles.
- Box Sash windows to be manufactured in joinery grade softwood timber with Sapele hardwood sill sections. All windows to match identical appearance and design as originals 4mm clear toughened glass face puttied into frames.
