What Are Façade Access Systems?

Façade access systems are specialist equipment and structures that allow safe and effective access to a building’s exterior for cleaning, inspection, and maintenance.

They are essential for:

> Window cleaning on high-rise buildings

> Façade inspections for safety and structural integrity

> Planned maintenance such as painting, sealing, and repairs

> Reactive maintenance following damage or wear

The right façade access system not only improves safety and compliance but also increases operational efficiency — reducing downtime, improving workflow, and protecting your investment in your property.

Abseiling Anchors: Our abseiling anchor systems allow for precise, controlled vertical descent along building exteriors. Perfect for window cleaning, façade repairs, and detailed inspections, these anchors enable trained professionals to reach any point along your façade quickly and safely. They are designed in compliance with BS EN 795 and other relevant UK standards.

Davit Arm Systems: Davit arms provide safe lateral movement, ideal for navigating around architectural features such as curves, recesses, or overhangs. They are a highly versatile solution for buildings with irregular façades or restricted access points. Available in fixed or removable configurations, davit arms are often paired with other safety systems for complete protection.

Dead Weight Trolley Systems:  Our dead weight trolley systems are portable and adaptable, making them perfect for sites that require multiple access points without permanent fixtures. They are particularly effective for short-term projects or where the building’s design does not allow for fixed installations. Despite their mobility, they meet the same stringent safety standards as our permanent systems.

Fall Arrest Eye Bolts: Fall arrest eye bolts act as secure anchor points for personal fall protection systems. They are essential for ensuring worker safety while carrying out façade maintenance tasks. Installed and tested in accordance with BS EN 795 and the Work at Height Regulations 2005, they provide reassurance for both employers and employees.
