Boom Lift Hire for St Mary Steps Church in West Street, Exeter

In the quiet hours of a Sunday morning, a significant restoration project took place at St Mary Steps Church on West Street, Exeter. The task involved delicate work with the renowned Smith of Derby Clockmakers to remove the autonomous figures from the church clock for specialised repairs.

To address the challenge at hand, the project organisers opted for the hire of a boom lift. This decision proved crucial in ensuring the safety of the workers and the preservation of the autonomous figures during their removal, as they were extremely heavy. The boom lift provided a stable platform that could be precisely manoeuvred to reach the considerable height of the church tower, offering a secure and controlled environment for the delicate task of taking down the clock figures.

The strategic application of a boom lift proved instrumental in the successful removal of the autonomous figures at St Mary Steps Church. Once restoration works have been completed, we will provide our boom lift hire services again to assist with putting them back in place.

The final phase of the renovation project for the renowned Exeter landmark on West Street has been completed. The newly refurbished characters have been reinstated with the help of our boom lift, and thoroughly tested to ensure their longevity. It's anticipated that these iconic figures will grace the site for many more centuries to come, preserving the rich heritage of the area.

This recent milestone in the restoration process involved a revisit to the site, primarily focusing on the careful reinstatement and rigorous testing of the figures. Our boom lift was fundamental in helping with the reinstating process, as it provided a safe, manoeuvrable platform for the client to stand on. The attention to detail in this phase underscores the commitment to preserving the historical significance of the landmark. The thoroughness of the restoration work reflects the dedication to maintaining the integrity of this beloved Exeter site.

As the landmark stands proudly once again, it serves as a testament to the dedication and expertise invested in its preservation.
