Rope access: how we reach the work
Rope access lets trained technicians work directly on the facade from ropes and anchor systems, without scaffold. It is how we paint, repair, clean and inspect buildings at height.
What rope access is
Technicians work supported by ropes, harnesses and certified anchor points, so they can reach any part of a building directly.
The training and certification standard for rope access technicians is set by IRATA. Our technicians are IRATA Level 1, 2 and 3 qualified, with First Aid onsite.
Why it suits buildings
No weeks of set-up
Technicians reach the facade directly from ropes, so there is no scaffold to erect and dismantle.
Entrances stay open
Less equipment at ground level means less blocked access for residents, tenants and customers.
Reaches awkward places
Setbacks, balconies and complex facades that platforms cannot reach.
Less disruption
Works are planned around the people who use the building, with minimal impact on day-to-day operations.
Rope access is not always the answer. Where an elevated work platform or boom lift is a better fit, we use that instead. We will recommend the method that suits your building.

Questions
Want to know if it suits your building? Ask us.
What is rope access?
A method of working at height where trained technicians are supported by ropes, harnesses and certified anchor points, so they can reach any part of a building directly, without scaffold.
Can you paint a building by rope access?
Yes. Painting is the core of what we do, from strata apartment buildings to commercial and government properties. We also repair, clean and inspect from ropes.
Is rope access safe?
It is carried out by trained and certified technicians working to strict procedures. On every job we prepare a personalised SWMS and rescue plan, set exclusion zones and use anchor systems that are installed, tested and certified.
Do you always use ropes?
No. We choose rope access or an elevated work platform to suit the building, and we will recommend the method that fits your job.
Will it disturb residents or tenants?
It is designed to keep disruption low. Planning and clear communication are part of every job, with minimal impact on occupants and operations as the aim.
