Across Scotland and the North of England, protective and decorative exterior paint has been commonly applied to both commercial and residential properties. The waterproof paint coatings act as an extra defensive layer from the outer weather elements which so famously in the UK often means wet and windy.
But while the application of paint to the exterior walls of a building may be a simpler process during the buildings initial build phase, the ongoing maintenance needs of said building do mean that the exterior painting needs to be re-applied in order to protect the building and ensure it retains a pleasing aesthetic.
Up until now, the most common method to deal with repainting a building was to erect expensive scaffolding in order to gain access to the difficult access points of the building that ladders or access platforms would not allow for. This however comes at a cost. Scaffolding is an expensive proposition and goes beyond just the financial costs. To erect scaffolding around a building, it can lead to access problems for the building, permits may be required and road closures may be necessary to ensure that the scaffolding is erected properly. And all of this comes with a time cost. It can take days to erect large scale scaffolding structures and days to deconstruct it. All of this costs time and money.
Thankfully there is another way. A faster, safer, and cheaper way called Rope Access.
Rope Access Painting for building exteriors eliminates the need for scaffolding which will immediately reduce the cost of painting building exteriors substantially.
At Abseiling Services, we provide fast and effective rope access services in the building maintenance sector including rope access painting services. With over a decade of real world experience, we use IRATA trained technicians to provide the full range of ‘at height’ rope access services required by our customers.
The painting and re-decorating of exterior surfaces of buildings is one of our most commonly quoted jobs at Abseiling Services and is a fundamental and vitally important part of a buildings planned maintenance cycle. The varying weather conditions in Scotland, heavy air-pollution and other external impacts can, over time, damage exterior paintwork and dull the appearance of a building. Rope Access Painting delivers high quality exterior painting work that will do more than enhance the aesthetic of your buildings exterior. These decorative coatings save rendered walls, concrete windowsills, window-frames and other surfaces by protecting them from the external elements. But these painted surfaces need planned maintenance and attention to ensure that they keep performing their job. Rope Access painting services can deliver this. Our abseiling painting services covers all phases of these exterior building refurbishment projects; covering surface and structural preparation as well as repairs to the building painting surfaces. We can also repair or restore any missing or cracked rendering, damaged concrete, brick or stone work as part of our wider range of building maintenance services.
Rope access is one of the most efficient ways of conducting building maintenance at a height. Rather than the heavy cost of building scaffolding from the ground up, we use abseiling techniques (hence the company name) to access ‘at height’ hard to reach areas of a building exterior that access platforms and ladders simply can’t reach; generating the same quality end results but in a much safer and cost efficient manner.
We use the same rope access equipment used by mountaineering teams and can use this equipment to abseil down buildings, historic structures, bridges, indoor spaces and even large trees.
The potential uses for Rope Access are near limitless and have helped to open up new possibilities for the building maintenance sector who previously was confined to expensive scaffolding as the only way to conduct exterior painting.
At Abseiling Services, we strive to provide out customers with outstanding and innovative solutions using rope access. We can offer at height repainting to suit your specific needs, be it domestic or commercial and can offer a skilled and professional service tailored to your budget.
