Frequently Asked Questions

What are facade access systems and how do they work?

Facade access systems provide safe and reliable access to building exteriors for cleaning, inspections and repairs. They integrate with the building’s design and ensure compliance and worker safety.

What is a BMU used for in building maintenance?

A Building Maintenance Unit provides permanent access to facades. It supports cleaning, inspections and maintenance while keeping workers safe at height. To remain compliant, a regular BMU safety inspection is required.

How do custom facade access systems differ from standard solutions?

Custom systems are designed for complex or irregular structures. They offer adaptability and scalability. Standard systems are suitable for typical low-rise buildings and provide cost-effective long-term access.

What safety standards do your facade access systems meet?

All systems are certified and designed according to international safety regulations and industry standards, including the Work at Height Regs 2005.

How do you integrate access systems with building architecture?

Our engineering teams work with architects to ensure solutions complement the building’s aesthetics while maintaining performance and safety.

What maintenance is required for permanent facade access systems?

Regular inspections, testing and servicing are essential to maintain safety and system performance. Tailored maintenance programmes, such as a BMU annual service contract, ensure compliance and extend equipment lifespan.

Can facade access systems be retrofitted to existing buildings?

Yes. Most existing structures can accommodate our systems. Contact us to find the best solution for your building and maintenance needs.

Which facade access system is best for my building?

The ideal system depends on your building’s height, roof structure and facade geometry. Our experts assess your project and recommend the most suitable system based on safety, efficiency and budget.
