Façade works and difficult-access installation
Our qualified tradespeople use rope access to reach work on high-rise façades and other restricted building locations. This supports construction tasks where scaffolding or elevated work platforms would be difficult to position.
Cladding and metal flashing
We install and repair cladding and metal flashing on elevated building sections. Our access capability also supports replacement work on existing façades.
High-rise glazing
Vertigo undertakes glazing installation, replacement and repairs in difficult-access locations. This includes work on high-rise windows and façade glazing.
Caulking and joint sealing
Our team carries out caulking around windows and façade junctions, including recaulking and expansion-joint work. These services address sealing requirements on new work and existing building elements.
Painting and elevated signage
We provide painting and protective coating services for exposed building surfaces. Our construction capabilities also include sky signs and high-rise banner installation.
Remedial work and construction maintenance
Existing structures can require several related repairs across the same difficult-access area. Vertigo’s construction and maintenance capabilities include:
- Concrete patching and remediation: Repairs to cracked or spalling concrete in elevated locations.
- Façade maintenance: Work on external building elements requiring specialist access.
- Leak investigation and repairs: Work involving glazing, cladding and façade seals.
- Builders’ cleans: Cleaning of elevated and difficult-access building areas.
- Riser-shaft work: Confined-space access for inspections, sealing and formwork.
- Rigging: Support for moving and positioning materials in difficult-access locations.
The repair requirements and access conditions determine the scope. Individual trade services can be discussed as part of the wider construction task.
Inspection and height safety support
Façade inspections and concrete testing
Vertigo provides close access for façade inspections and investigation. Concrete tap testing and core sampling are also available to support assessment of building condition and decisions about further work.
Height safety systems
We supply and install anchor points and static lines, along with access infrastructure such as walkways, ladders and platforms. Existing systems can also be inspected and recertified through our height safety inspection services.
Discuss your height safety installation
Tell Vertigo about the building or site, the areas people need to access and the work involved. Our team can discuss anchor points, static lines or access infrastructure for your project.
