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 accountable contractor
We plan, supervise and sign off every job, and bring in licensed specialists where the work needs them. One point of contact and no coordination headaches.

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
Site inspection
We look at the building, the roof anchors and access, and photograph the issues. Free of charge.
Fixed-price quote
A clear scope and a fixed price, with our insurance and SWMS attached. No variations unless the scope changes.
The work
On rope from certified anchors, or from the ground, with progress photos as the work goes.
Handover
A photo report of the finished work and your written warranty.
No scaffold. Working within hours.
Our technicians rig from certified roof anchors, two ropes each, and work the façade drop by drop. Nothing is built against the building, so balconies stay usable, footpaths stay open and there is nothing to dismantle at the end.
Every job runs under IRATA Level 3 supervision and a site-specific SWMS and rescue plan.

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.
Is rope access the same as abseiling?
Mostly, yes. Abseiling is the everyday name. Rope access is the industry term for the IRATA system we work under: every technician uses two independent ropes, each on its own certified anchor, and a Level 3 technician supervises the job.
Do you subcontract?
Sometimes. We plan, supervise and sign off every job ourselves, and bring in licensed specialists where the work needs them, for example a licensed waterproofer to certify a membrane.
