OUR PROCESS
How we work with you
Every SAT client follows the same path — from first conversation to long-term care.
Want to find out more?
01
Initial conversation
We listen first. What's the building? What's the concern? What's the history? No pitch, no pressure — just understanding what you actually need.
02
Site visit & assessment
We come and look. Rope access where needed, drone where appropriate. You get an honest report — what needs doing, what doesn't, and what can wait
03
Baseline & Passport
Your building gets its own Passport record. Every finding documented, every component mapped. You see exactly what we see, from day one.
04
On Going Support
Repairs, maintenance, ongoing care — done properly and logged. We come back because buildings need long-term care. That's where the value lies

Why choose SAT
Built on honesty. Backed by evidence.
Quality you can claim is just marketing. Quality you can show is something else.
Close enough to actually see
Rope access lets us get to every part of a building — close enough to read the defects, not guess from the ground. Drone where it’s the right tool, rope where it isn’t. Always honest about which.
- IRATA-certified teams
- Edinburgh-based crews
- Listed building experience
- Drone surveys
- No scaffolding
- Faster than traditional access
You see what we see
Every inspection is logged on the SAT Building Passport — photos, condition ratings, recommendations, forward plans. Nothing hidden, nothing inflated. The proof isn’t what we say; it’s the record itself.
- Photographic evidence
- Severity-weighted ratings
- Component-level tracking
- Three levels of reporting
- Owner-accessible portal
- On site data capture
Paid to keep buildings well
Most of our growth has come from existing clients introducing us to new ones. We’re paid to maintain buildings properly — not to find new things to fix. Long-term retention is the only measure that matters.
- Multi-year client retention
- Referral growth channel
- Property factor relationships
- Hotel maintenance
- Owners' association partnerships
- No surprise upsells

THE SAT BUILDING PASSPORT
The platform we built ourselves
Every building we maintain gets its own digital record — condition mapped, components tracked, inspections logged over time. Owners, factors, and asset managers see what we see, when we see it. Free for SAT clients.
Every component, mapped
Spatial canvas of each surface, with pinned items tracked through their full lifecycle.
Health, scored honestly
Severity-weighted condition ratings make worst-first reporting obvious — for one building or a hundred.
Photos with every finding
Tablet-captured on site. Every defect, monitor, and recommendation evidenced with images.
