Working at the highest level

The built environment of the UK is vast and varied, with commercial, industrial and residential buildings – some historic and others state-of-the-art – creating a unique landscape in every town and city. Due to their uniqueness, it has become imperative that the preservation of these buildings are meticulously handled by building access specialists.

An increasing number of city buildings soar high into the sky, creating their own access challenges for regular cleaning and maintenance. Regardless of the size of the structure, each has its own agenda, users and challenges. PTSG Building Access Specialists Ltd is the home of building access solutions for every structure in the built environment.

Our specialists are qualified and equipped to carry out the full spectrum of building repair, maintenance and cleaning work for customers in all industry sectors. From being the first company to carry our structural repairs to the iconic Grade I listed Blackpool Tower, to devising a unique technique for accessing the underside of roofs to protect structures such as sports stadia, aircraft hangars and industrial warehouses, no challenge is too great for our highly trained team.

An insight into some of our services

Knowing the ropes

Rope access is widely considered to be the safest and most effective technique for accessing building exteriors. It has the great advantage of being lightweight and is therefore easily mobilised on site. This enables PTSG’s engineers to install and remove all equipment quickly, causing minimal disruption and saving valuable time. Another advantage is that it is less obtrusive physically and visually, compared to scaffolding and mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs), for example.

Our IRATA-trained engineers use industrial rope equipment to service buildings and structures of all kinds, built in different eras for hugely diverse functions. Due to the unobtrusive nature of industrial rope access, certain buildings, such as shopping centres, can remain operational during works. The visual integrity of historic buildings is also largely unaltered during rope access works.

Our large team of steeplejack engineers cover the four corners of the UK. They design and install unique access systems to suit clients, each of whom has its own distinctive building(s). This may be a modern skyscraper, but it may also be a church steeple or an industrial chimney stack.
