What we do
Four ways to the glass, one written plan
Every building is different, so the bid names the method and why. Here is what each one is for.
Rope access
Two-line drops from the roof for towers, tall podiums and glass a lift can't reach.
Read moreLift and pole work
Storefronts, podium roofs and low-rise glass from a boom lift or a water-fed pole.
Read moreInterior glass and atriums
Lobby glass, atrium railings and office partitions, cleaned after hours.

Choosing the access
Rope, platform or lift: what each one asks of the building
We don't favor one method. The right one depends on the roof, the glass and who lives below.
| What matters | Suspended platform | Boom lift | Rope access |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | Suspended platformBuildings with a rail or davit system already in place | Boom liftLow and mid-rise glass with room at the base | Rope accessTall towers and curved or stepped faces |
| What the roof needs | Suspended platformA working rig or davits, inspected by its owner | Boom liftNothing on the roof | Rope accessRated anchor points, checked and logged |
| What the ground needs | Suspended platformA cordoned strip below the platform | Boom liftFirm ground for the lift and a cordoned area | Rope accessA cordoned strip below the drop |
| What residents notice | Suspended platformA platform and two technicians outside the window | Boom liftA lift and cones at the base | Rope accessA technician outside the window |
| Weather | Suspended platformStops at the rig's limit and the plan's | Boom liftStops at the lift's limit and the plan's | Rope accessStops at the wind limit set in the plan |
