Value
This was a relatively simple task, but for the fact that the front elevation was over a busy pavement. Some render had already fallen, leaving the client keen to remove any further loose material before anybody came to harm, and to discover the depth of the problem.
 
Not only does rope access not require pavement permits (unlike scaffolding), but our ability to complete the contract with the minimum of disturbance to the tenants in the block was another key factor.
 
We were more effective in every way than the alternatives, and our speed of response has no rival.
 
"Thanks for coming so quickly, we were very worried about more things falling down."
