Rope access

Rope, not scaffold.

Facade cleaning, glass replacement and inspection on buildings too tall for a ladder and too awkward for a cradle.

02

Two ropes, always.

Every technician hangs on a working line and a back up line, anchored separately. A level three supervises on the roof for the whole drop.

03

A drop is one line, top to bottom.

We price by the drop rather than the hour. A twelve storey elevation is about four drops in a day for one technician.

04

We work around your tenants.

Most of it happens between seven and ten in the morning, or at a weekend, so nobody spends a meeting looking at a pair of boots.

05

Anchors tested, then logged.

Eyebolts are pull tested every year and the certificates go into your building file the same week they are done.

The work

Glass, and whatever is holding the glass in.

Cleaning is most of it. The rest is the work that only shows up once somebody has been down the face on a rope.
