Church spires and steeples

 

We have recently undertaken projects involving the replacement of church spires.

 

These projects included the redesign of the new spires usually in keeping with the original design using photographic records where possible.

 

The new spires are constructed using modern steel work and are then clad in traditional materials to give an original aesthetic look.

 

The projects are usually carried out in close liaison with the clergy and often the local heritage body to ensure the design stays in keeping with the often old and traditional styles.

 

Cladding materials can be from traditional materials, usually lead, though this can be copper.

 

Modern materials can be used, such as tern-coated stainless steels. The thin gauge stainless steel is coated with lead or copper and applied to the work piece in the traditional manner. Over a period of years the materials tarnish in the same manner as would original materials giving an authentic appearance.
