We started by scaffolding and supporting the Chimney to ensure

the safety of both staff and pedestrians, we then secured the brickwork by netting around the

chimney.

We then broke down the Chimney into constituent parts to check if

any of the brickwork was still viable, we then removed the stonework which was beyond

repair

Stonework removed and secured

We removed the stones to a Local stonemason whose company made and installed the original stonework

over 100 years previously, these were then remade to the exact requirements
