We were honoured to participate in the remedial works for this prestigious project. Our goal was to safeguard this historic landmark, ensuring its protection and weatherproofing, whilst tasks including removing and replacing all roof lead work, performing carpentry on the roof trusses, and meticulously addressing masonry work on the facade were carried out.

Our specific scope involved installing debris-lined, fire-retardant safety nets beneath the Nave roof area. This allowed the church to remain open while work continued, providing essential protection for the public below.

To access the church’s interior, we collaborated closely with both the client and the church. Using a large spider picker, we manoeuvred through the working area, ensuring the safety of the church’s internals during the project.
