Cost-Effective BMU Refurbishment to Maximise Performance

Our BMU refurbishment services provide a sustainable and cost-effective alternative to full replacement. Each project starts with a detailed inspection of existing systems to identify worn or outdated components. Manufacturer-approved parts are then installed to restore full functionality and extend system life. 

Our refurbishment projects have successfully modernised systems worldwide — from a 59-year-old BMU in Munich, re-engineered for modern performance, to a 36-year-old BMU in Dallas upgraded with updated electrical systems to meet contemporary standards. 

By upgrading control stations, gondolas, and electrical systems instead of replacing entire units, refurbishment minimises waste, reduces downtime, and lowers costs. This approach improves reliability, safety, and sustainability, reflecting our global expertise in high-rise maintenance solutions and facade access system upgrades. 

Reliable Repairs to Maintain Safety and Functionality

Timely facade access repairs are essential for keeping BMUs, davits, and powered platforms operating safely. Our repair services cover emergency callouts, component replacements, and system troubleshooting to restore full functionality. 

Whether supporting ongoing maintenance or refurbishment projects, our programmes deliver dependable results. Each repair uses approved components under engineering supervision, extending system life and preventing premature replacement. 

With decades of international engineering experience and regional knowledge, our team supports high-rise maintenance solutions, addressing the unique challenges of urban buildings, complex façades, and compliance requirements. 

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should facade access equipment be inspected or maintained?

Professional inspections are recommended at least once a year. Early detection prevents major failures and costly downtime. We can create a maintenance schedule tailored to your building and equipment.

Can older BMUs be modernised instead of replaced?

Yes. Retrofit and modernisation offer a cost-effective alternative, extending system life while improving safety and performance. Upgrades may include control system modernisation, electrical and mechanical enhancements, safety feature improvements, and structural upgrades to ensure compliance.

What issues can refurbishment fix?

Refurbishment addresses worn mechanical parts, outdated electrical systems, structural fatigue, and obsolete safety features. Revitalising equipment restores reliability, efficiency, and compliance with modern standards.

How long does a refurbishment or repair take?

Minor repairs typically take a few days, while full refurbishments may take several months depending on system complexity. We provide clear timelines to minimise disruption.

Does refurbishment improve safety and compliance?

Yes. Modern safety features, including upgraded control systems, emergency brakes, and monitoring technologies, ensure compliance with current regulations and extend system lifespan.
