The Challenges with Exterior Maintenance
Exterior maintenance often involves high costs, long set-up times and disruption. Scaffolding is expensive and delays repairs, while traditional methods can cause unnecessary tenant inconvenience.
Problems quickly worsen when access is limited or work is repeatedly postponed.
Common Issues:
- Costly scaffolding and extended set-up times
- Delays in necessary repairs and maintenance
- Disruption to tenants and building access
- Increased repair costs over time

Rope access provides a faster and more efficient way to complete exterior maintenance and high-rise painting without scaffolding or heavy equipment. It enables controlled access to all areas while daily operations continue as normal.
Benefits of Rope Access for Building Maintenance

RECENT PROJECTS
Rope Access Waterproofing
A body corporate engaged us to resolve a leaking gutter membrane on a ninth-floor building in Hamilton’s CBD. Years of weathering, moss build-up and failed repairs had caused ongoing water issues, and traditional access would have required large, overhanging scaffolds at significant cost and disruption.
Using rope access, we inspected the entire gutter system quickly and safely, documented all defects and provided a clear solution. Our team cleaned the gutter thoroughly, repaired damaged areas and applied a durable liquid membrane to fully re-seal the surface.
The project was completed efficiently, with no disruption to residents and a substantial saving in access costs. Rope access allowed us to deliver a precise, effective result while avoiding the delays and complications associated with scaffold-based methods.
