Benefits of Rope Access

• Cost effective – In the majority of cases roped access techniques are far more cost effective than the conventional means of scaffolding or cherry picker.
• This is especially true if a larger area has to be covered such as spot pointing, replacing a block here or there and conducting in-depth condition surveys.
• It is unobtrusive – This is especially important at historic sites such as castles and monuments or churches where weddings and funerals are a common occurrence, and the public have general access.
• Keep Public places open while work commences.
• Versatile – Small areas are cordoned off on a rolling programme. Again, this is especially important where there is visitor access such as Rievaulx Abbey, Bodiam castle etc. In fact, roped access can be a visual attraction as it is, basically, one or two people hanging off of a rope.
• Quick and efficient to set up, access work and takedown.
• Environmentally friendly.
• Safe and easy to manage, being tamper proof as ropes tied away at the end of each work period.
