INSPECTION/MAINTENANCE

Chimney inspection and maintenance has predominantly been the core business of the Company since its formation. Rafferty’s inspection and maintenance service applies sophisticated technical skills and visual evidencing techniques to assess the condition of any chimney whether brick, steel or concrete, irrespective of processing function.

DESIGN & MANUFACTURE

Each new installation must comply with not only basic standards of operational safety and efficiency, but also conform to current and projected regulations for factory pollution, clean air acts and the control of energy consumption – the latter now being of huge financial and social consideration.

DEMOLITION

Rafferty’s remain one of the country’s leading companies able to address and overcome the difficulties involved in major demolition and dismantling contracts, particularly within sensitive densely populated and `live’ situations. Our expertise in controlled demolition and dismantling of brick, concrete and steel industrial chimney structures is regularly called upon by clients throughout the UK and the World.
