Local context
London’s commercial estate spans every category of building that needs height safety attention. The City’s traditional office towers carry mansafe cable lines installed in the 1990s and early 2000s, many of which are now well into their second or third recertification cycle and showing the wear that comes from twenty years of London weather and constant access. The newer towers in Canary Wharf, Stratford, and the City cluster have anchor systems specified to current standards but still require the same annual inspection regime. Council estate across the 32 boroughs ranges from Victorian-era schools and town halls with parapet edges needing guardrail provision, to post-war housing estates with flat roofs and complex skylight arrangements, to recent residential towers with rope access infrastructure for facade maintenance.
We cover the full London estate from our office at 66 Paul Street, EC2A 4NA. Engineers are typically on site within the same week and often within 24 hours for urgent inspections. The dense building stock and short travel times mean London is the most responsive location we serve.
