Rope Access & Working at Height
Rope access is a perfect means of performing work at height by IRATA-qualified technicians without invasive methods. Work can be carried out in stages, regardless of the size of the building or structure, with minimal disruption. Our extensive expertise enables us to provide a cost-effective, reliable and responsive service allowing us to access all areas.
Working at Height Consultation & Audits
Working at height is a specialised activity that requires the utmost care and respect. It is essential to consult with an expert when planning such work to determine the safest means of access and eliminate any risk of accidents. Our comprehensive consultation service, backed by decades of experience, ensures that all work at height is performed safely and adheres to IRATA industry standards.
Cleaning, Painting & General Maintenance
Rope access is rapidly becoming the preferred method for accessing facades for tasks like external cleaning, painting and maintenance. The high costs associated with bulky options like BMUs and MEWPs have led clients to seek more cost-effective solutions. Abseiling enables our skilled IRATA-qualified team to reach any area and perform work with minimal disruption and often without the need for local authority permits. Our specialist stadium team has carried out cleaning and painting of steelworks at prominent venues such as the Kia Oval and Coventry Building Society Arena.
Glazing & Cladding Installation
Glazing and cladding installation using rope access allows us to reach even the most challenging areas. Once practical completion is achieved, if any defects are found, our rope access team offers a quick and cost-effective solution for replacement panels, eliminating the need for scaffolding or cranes.
Man-Safe Systems
Our working at height team are specialists in all things access. Whether you are looking to install a fall arrest, abseil or other means of safety system we can help consult, design and install to suit your building. If you only require the system for a short duration, we can supply a temporary weighted anchor system. In addition to access solutions, we supply and install ladders and walkways as well as training to ensure safe usage.
Façade & Structural Surveys
High and hard-to-reach areas are often overlooked, and issues may only come to light when problems arise, such as spalling concrete, falling masonry or leaks. Traditionally, accessing these areas has been both challenging and costly. Our IRATA Level 3 technicians are qualified to work alongside specialist surveyors on ropes. This enables us to conduct detailed façade and structural surveys. We can also recommend necessary remedial actions to ensure your building remains compliant and safe for the public. We bring extensive experience working on stadia, commercial properties and listed buildings.
VertiCulture Services for Living Walls
VertiCulture is an environmentally conscious solution for accessing and maintaining living walls. Our horticulturally trained, IRATA-certified technicians utilise rope access to reach areas that are often inaccessible with traditional equipment. This allows us to create comprehensive solutions for even the most challenging and complex living walls. With a smaller exclusion zone, reduced noise and no need for ro
ad closures, our approach causes minimal disruption to tenants, clients and the public. By eliminating reliance on diesel-powered machines, rope access helps us lower emissions, making our method more environmentally responsible.
