Forrester Access
We are a specialist hirer of cherry-pickers to the Ecclesiastical and Heritage sector – providing access machinery and expert operators for indoor or outside maintenance, remedial work and inspections.
We are a Constructionline Gold Accredited Company.
Our machines are lightweight, and ground protection is always used where necessary.
Gutter clearing, pointing, cleaning and other routine maintenance services are available directly from us.
Services
We have been using and hiring out ‘spider’ machines for over two decades – they are the most versatile of all access platforms and are very well suited to working in a church or historic building. They can be moved around site under their own power through gateways, narrow paths, around gravestones or other obstacles, taken up slopes and steps, and enter areas of a building or garden otherwise impossible to get to with any other type of platform.
Our clients include: The National Trust, Cathedrals, Churches, Castles, Historic Houses, Schools, Colleges, Estates, Ancient Monuments and Local Authorities.
Contracted Work
Hire us to carry out the whole job for you, whether it be gutter clearing, planned routine or one-off maintenance or anything else too risky and high for ladders, but where a full scaffolding would be excessive.
Operated Hire
We provide a machine with an expert operator – typically this might be for an architects QI survey, or providing safe access for specialist work at height such as glazing/painting/pest control/roofing.
Self-drive Hire
Hire one or more of our machines and operate it yourself. We routinely hire machinery to Arborists, electricians, stonemasons and other trades.
