Our specialist narrow access expert Lee Kerr takes great pride tackling the toughest of narrow access challenges, none more so than when he surveyed St Margaret Lee Church in Lewisham.

Due to subsidence, cracks had appeared above the Alter causing masonry to present a hazard.

This particular church was a challenge to access, "when I first visited the church to carry out a site survey I knew that there was only one type machine for the job". After careful measuring Lee decided that the TS15 spider was best suited, due to a tight isle of only one metre wide and only one position where the Spider could be safely set up and manage the working height of ten metres and on parts needing an outreach of seven metres.

The machine gained access via a door measuring only 1.2m wide and had several steps to get over which we employed the services of a local scaffold company.

The works were completed ahead of schedule, even allowing enough time to replace a number of light bulbs positioned in normally inaccessible parts of the building.
