At Facade Access Solutions EMEAI, we bring decades of experience to retrofit projects of all sizes. Our team upgrades ageing facade access systems to meet modern codes and introduces advanced technologies to improve safety, reliability and performance. Each retrofit balances compliance, functionality and architectural design.
Every project follows international building regulations and health and safety standards, including BS 8610 for anchor systems. From davits and lifelines to powered platforms, our systems are designed for long-term reliability. Retrofitting improves building access, supports sustainability goals, enhances energy efficiency and reduces operational risks.

Every building presents unique challenges, from ageing equipment to changing safety codes. Facade Access Solutions EMEAI offers five core services: training, inspections, maintenance, retrofits and repairs. These services provide full lifecycle management for façade access systems, keeping buildings safe, efficient and compliant.
Regular inspections and load testing keep façade access systems operational and safe. Our technicians perform annual and pre-use inspections as part of a full compliance programme. Our BMU statutory inspection UK services help clients meet strict legal requirements.
Annual inspections are thorough and required once per year under international regulations. Pre-use inspections certify equipment every 30 days. Our assessments identify risks, detect material wear and provide clear recommendations, such as a LOLER 9.3 inspection for lifting equipment.
Our experts help building owners meet duty-holder responsibilities and stay updated on safety standards. Integrating inspections with maintenance reduces downtime, avoids costly failures and ensures safety for workers and the public.
Preventive maintenance is key to long equipment life and workplace safety. We offer service contracts for brands including Tractel, Manntech and CoxGomyl. A comprehensive BMU maintenance contract ensures your equipment remains in peak condition. Regular maintenance reduces unexpected costs, minimises downtime and keeps systems compliant.
Services cover building maintenance units, fall protection systems, safety lines and powered platforms. Maintenance is adapted to local climate conditions. For businesses in the capital, we provide a specialized BMU service to handle high-density urban requirements. Emergency response teams are available in certain regions to restore operations quickly and reduce disruption.
Safety starts with trained personnel. Our certified programmes provide hands-on, site-specific training for suspended platforms, facade access systems and height safety equipment. We also offer BMU operator training to ensure your onsite staff can use complex machinery safely.
Every building is unique, so training is tailored to each system and site. Refresher courses keep teams up to date with evolving safety standards and improve operational efficiency.
Older buildings benefit from modern, sustainable solutions. Our retrofit services upgrade existing systems to improve safety, compliance and energy efficiency without full replacement. We are a leading façade access retrofit contractor capable of handling complex engineering tasks.
By combining new technology with existing structures, we deliver cost-effective solutions that extend system life and boost operational efficiency. Projects are custom designed for unique challenges, including historic façades, complex rooftops and irregular buildings.
Replacement is not always necessary. Our refurbishment services restore systems to optimal performance while maintaining compliance. Our BMU refurbishment team can breathe new life into ageing machinery. Work may include component replacement, structural adjustments or control system recalibration. Original manufacturer specifications are always followed to ensure reliability.
Different sectors have distinct operational and safety requirements. Facade Access Solutions provides specialized retrofit and maintenance programs that meet global industry standards across the following sectors:
Office towers require reliable facade access to maintain their appearance. Our team can implement a comprehensive facade maintenance strategy to keep these assets pristine. Retrofit solutions improve energy efficiency with minimal disruption. Maintenance is scheduled outside peak hours to avoid operational issues.
Hospitals and clinics require uninterrupted operation. Our services meet strict safety and regulatory requirements to ensure facade maintenance does not affect patient care.
Universities and schools need cost-efficient solutions. Retrofits are scheduled around academic calendars and integrate seasonal maintenance and sustainability initiatives.
From civic centres to courts, compliance and transparency are essential. We ensure every facade access LOLER inspection is documented thoroughly for public record. Our processes ensure public buildings meet the highest safety and performance standards.
Hotels and resorts need safe access systems that complement the building design. We can provide an atrium gantry for internal maintenance that won’t disturb guests. Work is planned to avoid peak seasons and maintain guest experience.
As part of the Alimak Group, we bring over 80 years of engineering expertise with trusted brands such as Tractel, Manntech and CoxGomyl. With more than 16,000 units installed globally, our systems are known for reliability and safety.
Our EMEAI teams from UK, Middle East, Africa, and India, understand local regulations and building codes. For complex builds, we offer integrated facade access design to support architects from the start. We tailor each system to regional requirements and integrate seamlessly with construction practices. Projects are delivered on time, on budget and in full compliance with safety standards.
We work closely with architects and contractors to ensure façade access systems complement the building design while maintaining safety and functionality.
