IRATA rope access · Based in London, working nationwide
Bird proofing, high-level building maintenance, cleaning and graffiti removal — delivered by an IRATA-certified team. No scaffold, no MEWPs, no road closures, no permits to wait for.
Why rope access
Every access method carries the cost of getting people to the work. Scaffold and MEWP hire routinely exceed the value of the repair itself. Rope access removes that overhead: our technicians rig from the roof and are at the work face within the hour.
| Typical high-level repair | Rope access | Scaffold / MEWP |
|---|---|---|
| Access set-up | Same day | Days to weeks |
| Road closure / permits | None required | Often required |
| Disruption to residents | Minimal | Significant |
| Access cost on the invoice | £0 — it’s just us | Frequently exceeds the repair |
| Carbon footprint | Two technicians, one van | Plant, haulage & diesel |

SURVEY · MANSION BLOCK ELEVATION
On social housing, heritage stock and occupied buildings, access infrastructure is usually the largest cost and the biggest source of resident disruption. Rope access removes both — the saving is structural, not a discount.
