HighRise
Maintenance

Keeping buildings sound once they're built — facade painting, sealant replacement and remedial repairs, delivered by IRATA-certified technicians using whichever access method the building calls for.

What we do

Reach the whole building.
Whatever it takes to get there.

Some jobs need scaffold or edge protection, and we'll tell you when that's the case. Plenty of others don't. IRATA certification is internationally recognised as a leading benchmark for industrial rope access competency and safety — where rope access suits, it means we can reach any elevation and start work the day we arrive.

Choosing the right access for the job changes the economics of building maintenance. Work that would have taken weeks can take days — and small remedial repairs stop being deferred until they turn into big ones.

We're certified applicators for Hitchins, Sika, Ardex and Allco coating systems, and every job is documented with photos and a completion report ready for your body corporate or asset manager.

Services

What we maintain

Planned maintenance and reactive repairs for commercial buildings, apartment blocks, body corporates and retirement villages.

Commercial facade painting

Full surface preparation, priming and high-build topcoat systems on multi-storey exteriors. Certified applicators for the major coating brands.

IRATA rope access

Certified technicians reaching any elevation on rope — fast to mobilise, and often the most cost-effective option where it suits the building.

Sealant replacement

Cutting out perished joint sealant and replacing it properly — the single most common cause of water ingress on a curtain-wall or panel facade.

Facade inspections

Close-up condition reports from rope, with photographic records — the detail you need for long-term maintenance plans and asset budgeting.

Remedial repairs

Concrete spalling, cracked render, failed flashings and damaged cladding — repaired in place before they become structural problems.

Planned maintenance

Scheduled programmes for body corporates and asset managers — regular inspections, gutter clearing and coating renewal on a known cycle.

Why rope access

Faster, cheaper,
less disruptive.

No scaffold hire. Scaffolding on a multi-storey building can cost more than the maintenance work itself, and it sits there for the full duration of the job.

No blocked access. Your entrances, carparks and ground-floor tenancies stay open and usable while we work above them.

Faster mobilisation. We can be on the building the day we arrive rather than waiting a week for scaffold to go up and be certified.

Lower security risk. Scaffolding gives anyone a ladder to your upper floors for weeks at a time. Ropes come down with the crew each evening.

Is the problem water getting in?
Our Waterproofing division handles membrane roofing, tanking and leak investigation — finding the actual entry point rather than coating over the symptom.
