Allchimneys carried out lightning protection and chimney works at the Hackney Empire — one of London’s most recognisable historic entertainment venues. The Hackney Empire’s roofline features original Victorian chimney stacks, and works at this level on a Grade II listed building require careful access planning, correct methodology and full compliance with BS EN 62305.
Work included inspection and maintenance of the lightning protection system serving the chimney stacks, with a compliance certificate issued on satisfactory completion. Projects of this type — historic London buildings with original Victorian chimneys and existing lightning protection systems requiring annual inspection and certification — form a regular part of the Allchimneys commercial workload across London.
For buildings where rooftop access is difficult or scaffolding is impractical, our IRATA-certified rope access team carries out inspection and installation work safely and efficiently at height.
