Rope access for homes on difficult lots
Some houses have a wall nobody can reach: three storeys of glass above a slope, with no ground for a ladder or a lift. We reach it by rope from the roof.
What we do on houses
One or two technicians, usually for a day or two, and nothing fixed to the house.
- Window and façade cleaning
Tall glazing, cladding and skylights.
- Sealant
Window and panel joints that have started to leak.
- Leak finding
Water traced on walls that cannot be reached from inside.
- Painting
High fascias, soffits and trims.
- Small repairs
Flashing, cladding and gutter fixes at height.
Questions from homeowners
Is rope access safe on a house?
Yes, when it is rigged to sound structure. We assess the roof first and will tell you if a lift or scaffold is the right answer.
Will it damage the roof or garden?
Ropes are padded where they pass over an edge, and nothing stands on the ground below.
Is a small job worth calling about?
Yes. Send photographs and the address and we will say whether it suits us.
Do I need to be home?
We need roof access and a tap. For leak tests someone has to be inside to watch.
