While so much of the maintenance and repair work that we do is scheduled, there are times when Emergency Call outs are required for Rope Access work.

Our in-house Rope Access team can respond to emergency situations across the Central Belt of Scotland. From structural problems to building stonework and even dangerous hanging marketing banners in populated areas.

We can safely conduct emergency rope access repairs, cleaning and maintenance without the need for bulky scaffolding and work platforms which are both additional drains on time and costs.

Emergency Sandstone Building Repairs using Rope Access

When sandstone becomes overly saturated, it can begin to literally crumble like a dry sandcastle on the beach. If this stonework is a supporting/structural element to the historic building, this can prove to be a significant issue.

If your buildings stonework is failing, we can access it quickly through rope access. We do not require scaffolding to access the faulty stonework and our team can conduct a complete restoration and repair service to rectify the issue.

Our rope access team allows us to offer our building maintenance services at very competitive prices because we do not have the added cost of scaffolding set up. It also means that we can conduct our emergency stone removal services quickly.

Emergency Roofing Repairs using Rope Access

It doesn’t matter if your home has a slate roof or a tiled roof; a flat roof or a difficult to access roof. High winds can blow off slates and tiles, lift up cladding and rip off gutters and down pipes.  This can cause immediate and long lasting water damage to your property.  What can make matters worse is that emergency roof repairs are most common at a time of the year when accessing roofs can be both difficult and dangerous.  In fact, many Glasgow roofers will not venture out onto roofs under most Winter Weather conditions.

However, at Balmore, we are difficult access specialists. We are fully qualified AND certified to work at height in a wide range of weather conditions and environments.  It is why we are Glasgow’s leading difficult access specialist roofer for all types and styles of roof repairs and building maintenance.

Our Rope Access Team are trained, qualified and certified to work at height on anything from specialist welding to protective coatings, inspections and repair & maintenance jobs.
