Tyne Rope Access

Loud banging every time it got windy? That’s what tenants in Birmingham were putting up with. We abseiled the façade, found loose and missing cladding screws, tightened and replaced them. Sorted. 💪

Just completed: 314m of perimeter bird netting inside a live Lancashire distribution centre, finished five days early, on budget, with no incidents.
Rope access, MEWP and mast lift all had a part to play, and we adapted to a route change before we started without affecting programme or cost.

We're now a Constructionline Gold member.
https://tyneropeaccess.com/constructionline-gold.html

For clients and procurement teams, that means the checks you would normally run on a new supplier have already been carried out, independently, and not just declared by us.

Our assessment covered:

✅ Company, financial and insurance information
✅ Health and safety, including SSIP accreditation through Once For All
✅ Quality, environmental management and information security
✅ Our working at height capability, whether by rope access or MEWP, including bird netting installation
✅ Social value, working conditions, community engagement and wellbeing
✅ Constructionline's Building Safety Act assessments

The result: less paperwork at the start of a job, and assurance that someone other than us has checked our standards. Our certificate and supporting evidence are available on request.

We've written up what Gold means, what was assessed and what it means for you here:

Well, that’s another food storage area netted off to prevent birds from getting into the storage area and contaminating food products. 🐦

This is now the 5th site we’ve completed for the same end client, and we’ve already been asked to help out on a few more!

The teams are absolutely flying with these jobs, delivering great results and getting nothing but positive feedback from the client. 👏

It’s great to see the hard work paying off and to be building that kind of relationship with a repeat customer.

Keep an eye out for some case studies coming to our website soon, where we’ll be sharing more about the work we’ve been carrying out.

A lot of people still think of rope access as simply “getting to places you can’t reach”.

It’s a bit more than that.

At Tyne Rope Access, we’re often brought in when the traditional options start getting expensive, disruptive or just don’t make sense.

But rope access isn’t always the best option — and we’re not going to pretend it is.

Sometimes a MEWP is the right solution. Sometimes it’s scaffolding, a PASMA tower or a combination of different access methods.

Our job is to look at the job properly, understand the site and make sure we’re using the safest, most practical and cost-effective access solution for the job.

That might mean rope access.

It might mean a cherry picker.

Or it might mean something completely different.

Bird netting, roofing, cladding, specialist cleaning, repairs, inspections and plenty of awkward jobs in between.

We’re building the team back up, taking on bigger projects and getting ourselves back in front of more contractors, FM companies and building managers across the UK.

If you’ve got a job coming up where access is going to be a headache, give us a shout.

We’ll work out the best way to get it done. 👊

Well, it’s been another very, very busy week for us here at Tyne Rope Access! 💪

We’ve started and finished some great bird netting projects, while the reactive roofing squads have been up and down the country all week, carrying out emergency repairs and helping keep businesses and sites moving.

From a business point of view, we’ve also got some really exciting stuff happening behind the scenes and some seriously big things coming up.

It probably doesn’t look like it from a LinkedIn point of view, as we’ve been a bit quiet on here lately 😂 but honestly, since our relaunch, things have been absolutely mind-blowing.

I genuinely never expected it to take off as quickly as it has, and we’ve got some massive plans for where we’re taking Tyne Rope Access next.

A huge thank you to all of our clients — old and new — for continuing to trust us with your projects and giving us the opportunity to show you what we can do.

There’s plenty more to come… 👀

Tyne Rope Access is only just getting started. 🚀

Another busy day for the Tyne Rope Access bird control team. 🐦💪

The team are out in full force getting this project completed and ready for handover.

We work with building managers, facilities managers, property managers and contractors to deal with bird-related problems across commercial and industrial buildings.

From bird netting and bird spikes to bird wire, proofing and guano cleaning, we can assess the problem and recommend a practical solution that works for the building.

If you’re responsible for a building that’s suffering from pigeons, gulls or other bird issues, get in touch with the team.

Big one for us this week. Tyne Rope Access is properly back.

Truth is, we've been quiet for a while, heads down on major roofing projects. But the last couple of months have been about more than catching up on posts: a bigger team, tighter systems, and getting back in touch with clients we've worked with over the years.

We've been solving difficult-access problems since 2016: commercial buildings, industrial sites, offshore structures, historic buildings, and a fair few jobs that didn't fit neatly into any category. We never really had anywhere online that reflected that properly. Until now.

We're now working out of Royal Quays in North Shields, taking on work across the North East and beyond. Bird control, coatings, roofing and cladding, confined space and rescue, specialist cleaning, and the awkward jobs that don't have an obvious access solution.

New site's live now too actual work we do:

Looking back at some old photos and came across this one of me well over a decade ago, when I was working as an IRATA Level 2.

I started my rope access career working on railway cuttings, carrying out rock stabilisation works. From there I ended up overseas in Gibraltar 🇬🇮, doing pretty much the same thing on the famous Rock of Gibraltar.

What an amazing place that was!

To this day, abseiling off the top of the Rock, well over 350m up, is still the highest descent I’ve ever done. Although I have to say, the lead climbing to get there in 40°C heat 🥵 wasn't exactly my favourite part!

A lot has changed in the rope access industry since this photo was taken, but one thing that hasn't changed is the importance of very high standards of safety.

Back then, I definitely wouldn't have imagined I'd end up owning and running my own business, and I certainly wouldn't have believed some of the things we've got in the pipeline now would ever happen.

It just goes to show — it doesn't really matter where you come from or what your background is.

If you want something badly enough and you're willing to put everything into it, you can achieve a hell of a lot.

Pretty mad looking back at where it all started. 👊🧗‍♂️
