Older properties benefit from modernised facade access systems through our refurbishment or facade access retrofit contractor solutions. These options give building owners a practical way to align equipment with updated building requirements while protecting the value of their investment.
Our work focuses on providing building maintenance units, working platforms, and facade access equipment services that combine high-quality engineering with full compliance to recognised safety standards used throughout the EMEAI region’s construction industry.
Whether supporting new construction, retrofit, refurbishment, or replacement projects, we deliver integrated facade access design services and BMU maintenance that align with architectural planning and building requirements. With decades of experience and the strength of the Alimak Group, we offer a complete range of building maintenance unit systems and suspended access equipment to clients across the UK, UAE, and the wider Europe, Middle East, Africa, and India region.
Access equipment is only as reliable as the service behind it. High rise buildings of all types require ongoing inspections, upgrades, and lifecycle support to remain safe and compliant. Our service solutions connect building maintenance units, working platforms, with protection systems, BMU operator training, and asset care. This integrated approach supports efficient facade access systems and routine window cleaning while safeguarding long-term building value.
We provide a complete range of facade access equipment services designed to support high rise buildings throughout their lifecycle. Our integrated design process connects building maintenance units, powered platforms, and safety systems into one efficient workflow that suits straight facades and complex roof structure designs. This supports architects, contractors, and building owners in achieving safe and reliable facade access for window cleaning and routine inspection that meets international and regional industry expectations for buildings of any scale.
Regular inspection programmes and BMU load testing keep facade access systems safe and fully operational. Our compliance services address fall protection systems, fall arrest equipment, and abseil anchors to support local and international safety codes, reducing the safety implications of working at building height. Building owners and property managers benefit from confidence that maintenance units, suspended platforms, and access equipment perform to the highest standard for safe building maintenance across EMEAI regions, including the UK, UAE, Africa, and India. We meet all necessary standards and regulations, including PUWER BMU compliance, BMU inspection LOLER, BS 6037 in the UK, and EN 1808 across European markets.
High rise buildings in the UK, UAE, Europe, Middle East, Africa, and India benefit from updated facade access systems through our refurbishment solutions. These BMU modernisation options give building owners a practical way to align equipment with evolving building requirements while supporting long-term asset value.
Reliable performance begins with genuine components. We supply manufacturer-approved BMU spare parts for building maintenance units, self-powered working platforms, and access equipment to help reduce downtime and extend equipment life. Using original parts maintains safety, protects facade integrity, and preserves high-quality performance for BMU cradle systems used across high rise properties in the UK, UAE, Europe, Middle East, Africa, and India.
Our asset management services combine digital tracking, lifecycle monitoring, and load testing schedules within a proactive maintenance programme. We oversee facade access equipment, including BMUs, powered platforms, and safety systems, to minimise unexpected repairs. This approach helps maximise efficiency and maintain a safe facade maintenance strategy for a wide range of high rise buildings and facility types throughout the UK, UAE, and the wider Europe, Middle East, Africa, and India region.
Safe operation depends on knowledgeable personnel. We provide training programmes that strengthen understanding of fall restraint system requirements, fall arrest procedures, and safe operating practices. Building owners gain reassurance that maintenance units, suspended access equipment, and working platforms are used safely and effectively across UK, UAE, and wider Europe, Middle East, Africa, and India work environments.

BMU equipment in the UK falls under LOLER 1998 for thorough examination and PUWER 1998 for safe use, with BS 6037 setting design and installation guidance for permanent suspended access equipment. In the UAE, building maintenance units follow Dubai Municipality requirements and the international EN 1808 standard for suspended platforms. A full overview is available on our codes, regulations, and standards page.
Under LOLER in the UK, a BMU used to lift people requires thorough examination at least every six months by a competent person. Most operators pair this with planned BMU maintenance visits and annual load testing. Our inspection, safety, and compliance services cover statutory examinations across the UK, UAE, and wider EMEAI region.
BMU maintenance covers routine maintenance activities such as inspection, lubrication, parts replacement, and load testing that keep working platforms operational day to day. Refurbishment is a deeper upgrade that modernises a BMU to current safety systems and building requirements, often extending equipment life by years. Our refurbishment solutions team can assess existing equipment and recommend the right approach.
Yes. Building maintenance unit systems can be configured with telescopic mast, telescopic jib, or luffing jib arrangements to provide access to straight facades, stepped elevations, and complex roof structure layouts. For unusual geometries, our integrated design services team works with architects from concept stage.
