Working at height presents significant risks, but with the right equipment and expertise, those risks can be effectively managed. At Heightsafe, we specialise in the design, supply, installation, and maintenance of Working at Height Equipment that ensures full compliance with the Work at Height Regulations 2005 and the highest standards of safety.
Whether you’re accessing a rooftop, performing façade maintenance, or protecting operatives on rail and vehicle surfaces, our comprehensive product range is engineered for performance, flexibility, and safety.
Working at height refers to any task performed where a person could fall and be injured, whether it’s a few feet above ground or at roof level. To minimise the risk, appropriate safety equipment must be used.
Working at Height Equipment encompasses systems that either:
Prevent a fall (Fall Restraint),
Arrest a fall (Fall Arrest),
Allow safe access (Ladders, Platforms, Hatches),
Or support maintenance tasks (Abseiling Anchors, BMUs).
At Heightsafe, we offer an end-to-end solution covering all types of access and protection systems required for safe work at height.
We provide a wide range of systems to prevent and arrest falls in line with the latest safety standards:
Edge Protection Systems: Including permanent, freestanding, or collapsible guardrails and handrails to provide collective protection.
Mansafe Systems: Horizontal and vertical safety lines that allow workers to remain safely tethered while navigating roof surfaces.
Mobile Man Anchors: Temporary anchorage systems ideal for short-term work without compromising safety.
Skylight Protection Covers: Prevents falls through fragile skylights with durable mesh or cover systems.
Overhead Fall Arrest Tracks: Rigid rail systems that arrest falls quickly and reduce swing or pendulum effects.
Vehicle Fall Prevention Solutions: Specialist systems to protect personnel working on lorries, buses, and trains.
Safe access to roof spaces is critical. Our range includes:
Roof Access Ladders (Fixed): Custom-fitted for permanent, compliant rooftop entry.
Plant Access Systems: Bespoke platforms and ladders to access HVAC, ductwork, and rooftop plant safely.
Roof and Ceiling Hatches: Secure points for internal-to-roof access, with optional integrated ladders.
Roof Walkway Systems: Non-slip walkways that protect both operatives and roof materials.
Fire Escape Staircases and Safety Stairs: Designed for fast, safe evacuation in emergencies.
Maintain building exteriors safely and effectively with:
Abseiling Anchors: Certified anchor points for rope access technicians.
Davit Arm Systems: Flexible lifting and support equipment for complex access needs.
Dead Weight Trolley Systems: Mobile anchorage for rope access or fall protection.
Fall Arrest Eyebolts: Anchor devices for short-term or permanent use.
Building Maintenance Units (BMUs): Mechanised cradles for large-scale façade maintenance.
Every building and project is different. Our experienced team evaluates:
The structure and height of your building
The frequency and type of work carried out
Access limitations and architectural features
Budget and timeline considerations
From small commercial roofs to large industrial facilities, we recommend the ideal combination of access and safety systems tailored to your needs.
In some scenarios, a Mobile Elevated Work Platform (MEWP) may be more suitable, especially where fixed systems are not viable. We can advise on MEWP integration, operator training, and additional safety precautions for short-duration or reactive works.
We also support high-level tasks such as gutter clearance, roof cleaning, and window access, supplying both the equipment and qualified operatives where needed.
To maintain the reliability and legality of your height safety systems:
All our equipment is CE-marked and compliant with BS EN standards.
We recommend systems are inspected and tested at least every 12 months—or every 6 months for high-usage environments.
Heightsafe provides full inspection, testing, certification, and remedial services across the UK.
