Specialist Access & Lifting Solutions for Historic Buildings

With extensive experience working on churches, listed buildings, and historic properties, we understand the unique challenges these projects present. One of the most common obstacles is restricted and limited access, where traditional plant and lifting equipment simply cannot be used without risk to the structure or surroundings.

Recognising this industry wide challenge, we made a strategic investment in compact, lightweight, low-impact machinery specifically designed to operate in tight and sensitive environments. These specialist machines allow safe access through narrow entrances, confined spaces and delicate areas while maintaining the highest standards of care for historic fabric.

As a result, we now offer a complete access and lifting solution tailored to heritage and conservation projects. Our approach minimises disruption, protects valuable structures and enables works that would otherwise be difficult or impossible using conventional equipment.

If your project involves restricted access, fragile surroundings, or is of historic significance, we have the experience, equipment, and expertise to deliver a safe and effective solution.

Friendly and reliable!
