Building Façade Remedials

While every care is taken during the construction of a building, over time, damage is unavoidable.

With harsh weather conditions, air pollution and corrosion, materials start to deteriorate and wear away. Especially faced with the harsh weather that Scotland is famous for. Building façade remedials are necessary to fix these issues, not only aesthetically but also to ensure public safety and that a building adheres to legal requirements.

No building is damage proof no matter how well it was initially built. This means that all buildings, at some point or another, will require remedial work. Things can become challenging as some buildings and structures are larger or more difficult to access. If damage is caused in difficult to access areas where scaffolding can’t reach efficiently, rope access provides effective alternative for building façade remedial work.

Rope access for building façade remedials

Using rope access to carry out remedial work completely eliminates the need for bulky and expensive scaffolding. By accessing the area that requires repair from a height, our IRATA trained professionals are able to access and complete the remedial work much quicker and more efficiently. It also allows coverage for areas where scaffolding and other alternatives can’t reach.

Benefits of rope access for building façade remedials

There are many benefits of opting for rope access to complete building façade remedials. Making use of rope access equipment will save you on both cost of labour and cost of materials to erect scaffolding. Considering any building in any area could require remedial work, erecting scaffolding could be disruptive and lead to road closures. Rope access is far less invasive. By accessing the job from a height, disruptions are kept to a minimum. Using rope access equipment also cuts down on the time required to complete the job. Rope access equipment boasts set up and dismantling times that are a fraction of the time required to erect scaffolding.
