Industrial maintenance at height
High-level work in production halls and on installations, carried out on ropes, section by section, so you do not have to stop the whole line for a few hours of repairs.
Scope of work
- Visual inspection of structures, fixings and ductwork, with a photo report
- Tightening or replacing brackets, supports and clamps
- Work on ventilation ducts, cable trays and internal gutters
- Fitting and removing light fittings, sensors and equipment at height
- Local sealing at rooflights, roof penetrations and panel joints
- Cleaning beams and surfaces where dust or product builds up
When rope access makes sense
When the work point sits above machinery, racking or lines that cannot be moved, and there is nowhere to put a MEWP.
For extensive work at a single level with a clear floor below, a mobile platform may be quicker; we will tell you at the site visit.
How the job runs
-
List of work points
We agree with your maintenance team what needs doing and at what height.
-
Anchorages and sections
We pick anchor points on the hall structure and split the job into zones.
-
Work coordinated with production
Each zone is closed at ground level only while work is going on above it.

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
How is the price set if you do not publish rates?
It depends on the number of work points, their height, the time needed to rig each zone, materials and the working window. A clear task list cuts the assessment time.
Does production have to stop?
Usually only locally. The area below the work point is closed while we work and the rest of the hall carries on. Work above lines that cannot be protected is scheduled for a shutdown.
Do you go through the plant’s own induction?
Yes. The team attends the site induction and works under the permits to work issued by the client.
Can you take on maintenance on a regular basis?
Yes, under a framework contract with scheduled visits and a report after each one.
