UPDATE*
A few issues uncovered whilst stripping the shop out.
Unfortunately, there's an issue with the ceiling structure, which means a structural engineer has to be consulted, to ensure going forward, the shop is made safe for both customers & staff.
Safety of our customers & staff in future is paramount, therefore this has to be made compliant before we can proceed with any further works.
Obviously this is not the news we wanted to hear, as we'd hoped to be opening the shop back up soon after the new year.
However it is what it is unfortunately, & this is going to take a little longer than first thought.
We knew there were gonna be a few issues once the works started, however we hadn't envisaged the scale (or the additional costs) that these would involve, unfortunately.

We will continue to post updates on progress on here, just to keep you all in the loop, but for now we're gonna try & enjoy Christmas before work starts again...πͺ
We'd like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year!
Emma & Derek
