The benefits of rope access

For any steeplejacks or other people who work at heights, one of the most important considerations is access. It is important that high buildings and roofs can be accessed safely, with minimal risk to the workers, the general public or the building itself.

As highly experienced repair specialists, we always carefully plan each job before the work begins, and that includes using the most suitable access methods for the task. We have invested in state of the art equipment to make access as safe and easy as possible; for example, we use SkyVac equipment for working on gutters, as it enables us to complete inspections and cleaning without even having to get to the top of the building.

In many cases, we find that rope access is the best choice. Essentially, rope access is an advanced technique where ropes are used as the primary method of accessing church spires, roofs and other hard-to-reach areas. A brand new arrangement can be set up for each individual location, meaning that we are able to implement the most suitable access solution for every unique task. This makes it one of the most versatile ways of gaining access and means it can be used in a diverse range of situations and settings.

One of the biggest benefits of rope access is the fact that the systems can be installed and taken down extremely quickly, much more so than scaffolding and other access techniques. As a result, disruption is kept to an absolute minimum, so your day to day operations can carry on as normal. It is also extremely cost effective, as there is no need for any complex or specialised equipment and the work can be completed by a smaller number of workers.

We regularly carry out repairs, church restoration and other tasks with the use of rope access, and we pride ourselves on our excellent safety record and reputation for outstanding work. If you require any kind of high rise work to be carried out, our skilled team are the right choice for all your needs.
