Emergency make-safe in short
Tactical Height Solutions provides emergency make-safe for buildings in Sydney using IRATA-certified rope access technicians instead of scaffolding. Loose render, spalling concrete, storm damage or water coming in: we get to it from the roof, make it safe and document it for insurers. Every job is supervised by an IRATA Level 3 technician, carried out under NSW contractor licence 478674C, and covered by $20 million public liability insurance. Site inspections in Sydney are free, enquiries get a reply the same day, and most jobs can start within 48 hours of an approved quote.

Some façade problems can't wait for a quote cycle. A piece of concrete on the footpath, render hanging off a parapet, flashing lifted by a storm, or water pouring into an apartment needs someone at height quickly.
Text us photos and the address. We assess what we can from the photos, and where it's urgent we rig from the roof anchors, remove anything loose, net or cover the area, and seal what we can to stop water getting in. Everything is photographed for the building manager, strata manager or insurer.
Make-safe work stops the danger or damage now. Permanent repairs are quoted afterwards so the committee or owner can approve them properly.

Questions about emergency make-safe
How fast can you get there?
It depends on the time, the weather and roof access. Text photos and the address to 0478 152 630 and we will tell you straight away what we can do and when.
What does make-safe mean?
Making the building safe and limiting damage now: removing loose material, netting or covering the area, setting an exclusion zone and temporary sealing. Permanent repairs are quoted separately.
Can you work in the rain?
Rope access can continue in light rain, but not in high wind or storms. We assess conditions on the day and make safe from the roof edge or inside the building where we can.
Will you provide a report for insurance?
Yes. We photograph what we find and what we do, and send a short report you can pass to the insurer or strata manager.
