The Full High-Access Scope
Cleaning is usually how a building first engages us. Most stay because the rest of the facade scope can be handled by the same team, on the same rig, without another contractor, another induction and another set of paperwork.
Caulking & Sealant Replacement
Perished perimeter silicone cut out and reinstated to glazing, panel joints and expansion joints, the most common source of water ingress on a modern facade.
Facade Inspections
Close-range inspection of glazing, sealant, render, fixings and balustrades, returned as a photographic condition report with defects prioritised for budgeting.
Anchor Point Testing
Inspection, load testing and tagging of roof anchors, static lines and davit bases, plus a register showing what was tested and when it is next due.
BMU Operation
Where a building has a building maintenance unit or permanent gantry, our technicians are trained to operate it, using the plant you already pay to maintain rather than duplicating it with hired access.
EWP Access
Boom and scissor lift work for lower-level facades, awnings, atriums and setbacks where an elevated work platform is genuinely the safer or cheaper method. We pick the access to suit the building.
Pressure Washing
Facade washdowns on rope. Render, cladding, precast and soffits cleaned of mould, lichen and pollution staining, with a low-pressure soft wash where the surface needs it.
Gutter & Roof Drainage
Box gutters, sumps, rainheads and downpipes cleared and flow-checked before the wet season, with drainage defects photographed and reported.
How Rope Access Window Cleaning Works
1. Site Assessment & Rig Plan
We assess anchor points, drop lines, glass area and access complexity, then supply a documented safety plan and Certificate of Currency for strata or facility manager approval.
2. Rooftop Anchoring & Descent
IRATA-certified technicians rig from certified rooftop anchor points using redundant safety systems: a main working line and an independent backup line on every drop.
3. Facade & Glazing Clean
We descend the facade cleaning glass, frames and architectural glazing panel by panel, working around tenants and foot traffic with zero disruption at ground level.

High Access & Abseiling FAQs
Rope access (also called abseiling window cleaning) uses IRATA-certified technicians descending on ropes from rooftop anchor points to clean glass and facades, instead of scaffolding, EWPs (cherry pickers) or boom lifts. It's faster to set up, cheaper for most buildings, and doesn't require street or footpath closures.
EWPs and scissor lifts need ground clearance, level surfaces and often traffic management or footpath closures, and can't always reach awkward facades, angled glazing or atriums. Rope access rigs from the roof, reaches virtually any part of a facade, and leaves the ground level completely clear. See our full Rope Access vs EWP comparison for more detail.
In almost all cases, no. Because our rigs anchor from the rooftop and don't require scaffolding, EWPs, or footpath closures, most jobs need no traffic management plan or council permit, a major cost and time saving compared to cherry-picker or scaffold access.
Pricing depends on building height, number of drop points, glass area, and access complexity. Most strata and commercial buildings are quoted per drop or per square metre after a quick site assessment.
