By utilising ropes, wires and lifting equipment we build systems to support, move or control a person, load or structure, from shopping centres to remote locations.
Rope access is often the only way to replace broken glass panes after a building has been handed over. We offer professional glazing and cladding services, properly planned and safely conducted.
Commercial abseiling is a well-recognised technique for cleaning, painting and washing operations, perfect for window, façade and gutter cleaning, and steel and concrete painting.
The low impact of rope access makes it ideal for restoring heritage structures. We cooperate with conservation engineers to provide survey, restoration and maintenance works to churches, castles, viaducts and bridges.
We offer industrial painting and corrosion protection services, deploying teams of abseilers quickly with minimum disruption where scaffold or MEWP are not viable.
We work under the guidelines of the International Rope Access Trade Association (IRATA); our engineers are well-equipped and trained in undertaking safe and secure industrial abseiling services.
IRATA is a globally recognised body that sets training and accreditation standards for rope access technicians and companies, with the best safety standards and statistics in the world.
We also offer structural installations and inspections for our construction clients across the South West.
