Preserving church spires for the future

There are huge numbers of churches throughout the entire UK, and many of them are important and beautiful examples of architecture. This means that we should be doing all we can to preserve and protect them. However, due to their size, their age or the fact that they are constantly exposed to the elements, church spires and roofs can very easily become damaged, which can have a devastating impact on the entire building.

Damaged spires and roofs can let rainwater in, causing mould, damp and rot, allowing infestations and causing significant damage to the entire structure. If a church has experienced damage due to any of these factors, it is extremely important that the issue is repaired as soon as possible. This is easier said than done, as church spires and other tall or unusually-shaped structures can be very difficult to access without the right tools and equipment. High structures such as churches need specialist attention from skilled steeplejacks.

Due to the height and the nature of these buildings, it is important that the team carrying out the repairs are as safety conscious and careful as possible. When you choose to work with our experienced steeplejacks, you can always be certain that we will take every step to access the building safely and minimise any risks, using the latest and best access equipment. A full survey is always carried out before work begins so we can plan the best way to carry it out, ensuring safety for the steeplejacks and for the people in the building and the surrounding vicinity. Whether you need regular maintenance work on high rise buildings or need us to deal with a specific issue that’s arisen on a church or any other tall structure, we are ready to carry out the work you need for an excellent price.
