Rope access, scaffold or crane?
We choose the method after the site visit. If a scaffold or a MEWP suits your job better, the quote will say so.
| Criterion | Rope access | Scaffold | Crane / MEWP |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mobilisation time | hours, once the plan is approved | days to erect and strike | depends on plant and permits |
| Reach into tight areas | good: interiors, façades, steelwork | limited by building geometry | limited by boom reach |
| Ground footprint | minimal, exclusion zone only | for the whole job | outriggers and a cordon |
| Impact on operations | low, work runs section by section | high around the scaffold | medium, with traffic restrictions |
Frequently asked questions
Can you take on several jobs on the same site?
Yes, and it is usually more efficient: one mobilisation, one method statement and the same team for, say, gutter clearing, fixing inspections and netting.
How is the price set if you do not publish rates?
The price depends on height, access to anchorages, the volume and duration of the work, materials and the documents required. After the technical visit you get a written quote, with no VAT.
Do you work as a subcontractor to main contractors?
Yes. We work within the site safety plan, follow the coordination set by the client and supply the documents required from subcontractors.
