Why committees and builders choose us
We're licensed painters who work at height, not rope access technicians who happen to paint. You get a trade-quality finish with rope access efficiency, from one accountable team.
No scaffold costs
Scaffold hire, erection, inspection and removal can be a large share of a façade quote. We rig from the roof anchors instead and pass the saving on.
Fast to start
Same-day reply to every enquiry, and most jobs start within 48 hours of an approved quote.
One crew, start to finish
The same team inspects, repairs, seals, paints and certifies the anchors. No subcontracting and no coordination headaches.
Minimal disruption
No structure across balconies, no blocked entrances or footpaths. Residents and tenants carry on as normal.

Who we work for
Strata and residential
Owners corporations and strata managers need work done on occupied buildings with as little disruption as possible, and paperwork the committee can file.
Builders and remedial contractors
Builders bring us in for the parts of a job that need access without scaffold: defect rectification before handover, joint and sealant work, touch-up painting and façade repairs.
Commercial and retail
Office buildings, showrooms and retail centres need façades kept clean and maintained without closing entrances or footpaths.
Industrial facilities
Plant buildings, tanks, silos and structures often have areas that lifts and scaffold struggle to reach, and operations that cannot stop.
Government and contractors
Public buildings, schools, hospitals and infrastructure come with strict safety, insurance and documentation requirements.
How a job runs

We look at the building, the roof anchors and access, and photograph the issues. Free of charge.

The work
On rope from certified anchors, or from the ground, with progress photos as the work goes.
Handover

How rope access works on your building
Rope access is a way of reaching the outside of a building using two ropes per technician, each fixed to its own certified roof anchor. The technician descends the façade in a series of vertical "drops", doing the work as they go, then moves the ropes along to the next drop.
Because nothing is built against the building, a crew can be rigged and working within hours of arriving on site. There's nothing to apply for on the footpath, nothing blocking balconies, and nothing to dismantle at the end. For most painting, repair, sealing and cleaning work on buildings over two storeys, it is the fastest and most cost-effective way to get close to the façade.
Every Tactical Height Solutions job runs under the IRATA system: trained and graded technicians, an IRATA Level 3 supervisor responsible for the work plan and rescue cover, and a site-specific safe work method statement. Our team also holds trade qualifications, so the person on the rope is the person who knows how to do the repair or the paint job properly.
Local to Sydney, across every suburb
We're based in St George and work across Greater Sydney and the Illawarra, from CBD towers to walk-ups in the suburbs. Most sites are within an hour of our base, so inspections and follow-up visits are quick to arrange. For industrial and specialist projects we also travel to regional NSW and interstate. Recent jobs include a strata high-rise in Bankstown, a residential building in Mascot, a heritage terrace in Redfern and two buildings in Randwick.

Common questions
How much does rope access painting cost in Sydney?
It depends on the building height, the area to paint, the condition of the surface and the paint system. Because there is no scaffold to hire, erect and remove, rope access is usually cheaper than scaffold for buildings over two storeys. We give a fixed-price quote after a free site inspection.
How often do roof anchors need to be recertified?
Under AS/NZS 1891.4, roof anchors used for fall arrest or rope access should be inspected at least every 12 months, and after any fall or damage. We inspect, load test where required, tag each anchor and issue a certificate with photos.
Is rope access safe?
Yes. IRATA rope access uses two independent ropes for every technician, a working line and a backup line, each on its own anchor. Every job is supervised by an IRATA Level 3 technician and run under a site-specific SWMS.
Can residents stay in the building while you work?
Yes. We work on occupied buildings and put containment netting below the work where it is needed. Balconies and windows stay usable except for the short time we are working beside them.
How quickly can you start?
We reply to enquiries the same day. For most jobs we can start within 48 hours of an approved quote, subject to weather and access.
Do you send insurance documents with your quote?
Yes. Every quote comes with our certificates of currency for public liability, professional indemnity and workers compensation, plus the SWMS for the job.
