CURRENT PROJECT

Brick chimneys once dominated the landscape of our industrialised towns and cities and the few which now remain are often listed to preserve our industrial heritage. This 58m high Grade II listed chimney is located on an old Mill in Lancashire which has now been converted into living accommodation.

Rafferty’s have been appointed to carry out some much needed maintenance work on the chimney. Our specialist scaffolding and access solutions avoid the need for conventional scaffolding from ground level, providing substantial cost savings to our clients which can then be allocated to the actual maintenance on the structure itself.

A steeplejack is not only a specialist capable of complex high level scaffolding, rigging and access installations, they are also talented craftsman who are able to carefully repair and restore tall structures to their former glory.

As a company, we take great pride in projects like this, and it is a privilege to contribute to preserving structures that form part of our shared heritage for future generations.

🔧 We're Starting Repairs at Peel Power Station 🔧

This week, we're beginning essential repair work at Peel Power Station after one of the flue caps was damaged during Storm Éowyn earlier this year.

🛠️ Our specialist steeplejacks will be working inside the chimney to safely remove corroded bolts and prepare for the installation of new flue sections—manufactured locally to support the Island’s engineering sector.

📆 The project will be completed in two phases:
Phase 1: Internal prep work (approx. 2 weeks)
Phase 2: Flue replacement (approx. 3 weeks, weather dependent)

Full Details: https://www.manxutilities.im/latest-news-and-events/2025/repair-work-to-commence-at-peel-power-station/

Although only one flue cap failed, inspections showed corrosion in the others—so we're repairing all four to ensure long-term reliability.
