The oldest trade in working at height, updated with modern access techniques.
Steeplejacking hasn't fundamentally changed in a century — the same church spires, clock towers and industrial chimneys still need the same care and the same access skills. What's changed is what else we bring once we're up there: rope access adds a faster, lower-footprint way to inspect, survey and repair almost any structure.
All our steeplejacks are trained and hold current Gold Cards, with additional training in rope access and confined space work — so the same team can ascend a spire, carry out a chimney inspection, and safely descend into a confined space on the same site visit.
A steeplejack works at height on structures like church spires, chimneys and towers — inspecting, repairing and maintaining them, traditionally using laddering and suspended access, and increasingly alongside rope access and MEWP techniques.
Yes — it's a smaller trade than it once was, but steeplejacks are still very much needed for the UK's church spires, industrial chimneys and heritage towers, many of which have no other practical access route.
Cost varies significantly with the structure, access method and scope of work. A routine chimney inspection costs a fraction of a full repair project — get in touch with details of your structure for an accurate quote.
