Rope Access Services — Frequently Asked Questions
What is rope access and when is it used?
Rope access is a safe, efficient method for working at height using ropes and harnesses. It’s ideal for areas where scaffolding or cherry pickers are impractical, such as high-rise facades, industrial plants, or narrow access points.
Is rope access safe?
Yes. Rope access has one of the best safety records in the working-at-height industry. Our technicians are IRATA-certified, use double-rope systems, and follow strict safety protocols.
What services can be done via rope access?
We provide high-rise painting, waterproofing, facade cleaning, signage installation, window cleaning, inspections, maintenance, and repairs — all without bulky scaffolding.
How does rope access save time and money?
It requires minimal setup compared to scaffolding, meaning quicker starts, less disruption, and reduced labour costs. We can access hard-to-reach spots directly without complex equipment hire.
Do you work on both residential and commercial buildings?
Yes. We handle apartment blocks, office towers, hotels, industrial facilities, and even private homes where height or access is a challenge.
What happens if the weather turns bad during work?
We follow strict weather protocols and suspend work in high winds, heavy rain, or lightning. The site is secured, and we resume once conditions are safe.
Do you offer inspections as part of rope access?
Yes. We can carry out visual inspections, drone-assisted assessments, and provide photographic condition reports for maintenance planning or insurance claims.
Which areas do you service for rope access?
