Rafferty Specialist Access Services Ltd

Rafferty Specialist Access Services is a steeplejack and specialist access contractor based in Stoke-on-Trent. Its work centres on chimneys and tall structures, including inspection, repair and restoration, for clients in industry, utilities, the health service, brewing and public bodies. Projects named include repairs to a brick chimney at Swadlincote and the restoration of the chimney at Aizzlewood’s Mill, where decorative stones at the head were saved, not replaced.

Its heritage work is mainly on historic industrial chimneys, so owners of other types of historic building should ask about relevant experience and methods.
