High Level Glass Replacement Services

Sky Access UK specialises in high-level glass replacement projects, often using rope access as a faster, safer and more cost-effective alternative to scaffolding. Undertaking a high level glass replacement presents unique challenges - access, safety, disruption and cost. Our specialism in rope access offers a smarter solution:

  • Cost savings – eliminates the need for full scaffolding or bulky access towers.
  • Speed – fast setup and execution, reducing building downtime.
  • Minimal disruption – lightweight approach means tenants, visitors or staff can continue their activities below.
  • Safety-first – as the UK’s only IRATA Member company dedicated to glazing projects, we are externally audited for the highest rope access safety standards.

What is the process to plan and deliver a high level glass replacement?

Our history of conducting high level glass replacements has shown that flexibility is key. With this in mind, we conduct works at times to suit client requirements and minimise disruption. This often leads to night and weekend working to suit.

The surveying team will conduct a pre-works assessment of the existing glazing to ascertain sizes and specification to enable us to closely match the existing glass where possible prior to procurement. All projects will have site specific method statement and risk assessments produced to allow our Technicians to safely conduct any high level glass replacements required

Any access restraints can be overcome with our experienced team incorporating IRATA Trained Rope Access Technicians, IPAF trained Mobile Working Platform Operatives, PASMA trained scaffold operatives and many more.

Sky Access UK are able to supply all required access and associated equipment required to conduct high level glass replacements as part of a total solution – there are no hidden costs. This will include other individual project requirements including any road closures, permits, ground marshalling that is needed to ensure works are completed. All inclusions are within our quotation so our clients have peace of mind everything is included.
