  Steeplejack - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The profession of steeplejack is reserved for a general craftsman who is prepared to scale tall buildings and in particular church steeples with the object of carrying out general repairs.
In the UK steeplejacks now use a belay rope fall arrest system (similar to the method used by rock climbers) attached to the ladders as they are erected to elimiate "free" climbing and greatly reduce the risk of falls from height.
Steeplejacks are called upon to repair or replace masonry (brick, stone or concrete), carry out general carpentry or painting or roof repair, remove and clean and repair windows, as well as sandblasting and other masonry cleaning tasks.
