Why a close-up inspection

Binoculars and drones show you the outline of a problem. A technician on the wall can tap render for drumminess, check sealant adhesion, look behind cladding fixings and spot early concrete cancer before it spalls.

The result is a report you can use: what’s wrong, where it is, how urgent it is, and what it will take to fix. It’s ideal for capital works planning, defect claims and AGMs.

What we check

  • Render and concrete: cracking, drumminess, spalling and rust staining
  • Concrete cancer and rusted steel
  • Sealant, movement joints and window perimeters
  • Cladding panels, fixings and trims
  • Balconies, balustrades, hobs and slab edges
  • Roof edges, parapets, flashings and anchors

Why rope access for this job

  • Rigged from certified roof anchors in hours, with no scaffold design, hire or erection
  • Nothing left standing on the building overnight, so no climbable frame and no blocked views
  • Minimal footprint at ground level: gardens, driveways and entries stay usable
  • Reaches what scaffold and lifts can’t: atriums, light wells, curved and glass facades, soffits
  • IRATA-certified technicians working in pairs on two independent ropes
