Answers to common questions about our rope access services, safety standards, and pricing.
What is industrial rope access?
Industrial rope access is a safe, efficient, and cost-effective method of accessing hard-to-reach areas for inspection, maintenance, and construction work using ropes and specialized equipment.
Is it safe?
Yes, absolutely. Our team is fully certified (IRATA/SPRAT) and adheres to strict safety protocols. We conduct rigorous equipment inspections and risk assessments for every project.
How much does it cost compared to scaffolding?
Rope access is generally significantly cheaper than scaffolding because it requires less setup time, less equipment, and fewer personnel. Savings can often range from 30% to 50%.
What areas do you serve?

Are you insured?

Do you clean residential windows?
Yes, we service both commercial and residential properties, especially those with high or difficult-to-access windows.
