Our Areas of Expertise
Service Sectors
Edinburgh Rope Access allows our highly skilled inspectors to operate at a much more efficient and streamlined approach. This not only ensures a reduction in costs, but also enables our inspectors to access every part of the property, regardless of the location. There is a significant reduction in time and resources, as ropes can easily be moved along the elevation. Unlike scaffolding which must encompass the entire elevation at once.
Our Rope Access Technicians are able to undertake a multitude of different building maintenance tasks via ropes as a primary means of access. Systems and climbing techniques are constantly being reviewed for more efficient means of work and accessing locations. This allows our technicians to become highly versatile and adaptive to varying work environments.
Gutters and downpipes do not require large scaffolding towers to be erected in order to work on the drainage systems. Rope Access equipment is designed to work hard and safely, thus allowing us to perform various rigging and installation tasks using Rope Access equipment alone. Cleaning and maintaining drainage systems utilizing Rope Access is fast becoming a highly sought after commodity.
Admittedly there are areas in which scaffolding would be a more preferred work at height option, however for the more day to day maintenance and checks, Rope Access is more than sufficient. Many times, it is a few slates that require changing, or perhaps some mortar skew replacement. All of these can be done from ropes and at a fraction of the cost of conventional work at height methods.
