Telephone masts on church roofs and premises

These can be a useful source of income for your church but there are a few considerations.

• Check if faculty is required, and any guidance you need to follow.
• In the interest of openness and transparency, we suggest that the local community be made aware of the proposed installation.
• Be aware of special considerations where there is a school or other care facility in the immediate area.
• Access for repair and maintenance must not compromise the church’s security.
• A procedure for access covering health and safety issues needs to be documented and implemented.
• Make sure the installer has adequate insurance cover in place.
• Please let us know about the installation date and the telecoms provider concerned.

Your church policy (subject to regular review of sums insured and indemnity limits) should provide sufficient levels of cover to protect your interests, but we strongly advise you to read our detailed guidance and contact us prior to any installation going ahead for advice on 0345 777 3322.
