Karl Walker

I have worked alongside experienced Steeplejacks, welders, and engineers on a variety of industrial and commercial sites, including oil refineries and heavy industrial facilities, consistently delivering work to the highest standards of quality and safety. My experience includes the removal, installation, and replacement of structural steelwork at height using chain blocks, lifting equipment, and cranes, while adhering to strict site procedures and safety regulations.

I am highly skilled in shot blasting and grit blasting, preparing surfaces to a high specification for protective coatings and repairs. My building maintenance experience includes roof repairs, stonework restoration, structural repairs, and general maintenance of industrial and commercial buildings. In addition, I have experience in paint spraying and the application of protective coatings, ensuring durable, high-quality finishes in demanding environments. Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a strong work ethic, attention to detail, and a commitment to safe working practices while operating in challenging access conditions.
