What a night!

We had a great time at yesterdays incredible 25th Anniversary Fundraising Ball for Glasgow Children's Hospital Charity!

As a proud sponsor of the event, it was great to see a phenomenal £227,000 was raised, marking a truly unforgettable evening celebrating 25 years of the charity.

Being the 25th Anniversary Ball, we were taken on a wonderful journey through the past, present, and future of the charity.

Thank you to everyone who donated, our fellow sponsors and the amazing volunteers who made it such a special night 💜

Winter is coming... Is your commercial property ready?

Catching small defects now prevents costly emergency callouts in mid-winter.

Here are 6 essential pre-winter services every commercial property manager should prioritise before freeze-thaw cycles set in:

1. Drone & Thermal Imaging Surveys – Detect hidden heat loss, dampness, and roof leaks without expensive scaffolding.

2. High-Level Gutter Cleaning – Prevent blocked downpipes, ice dams, and internal water ingress.

3. Loose Slates, Tiles & Flashing – Secure roof coverings against high winds and driving rain.

4. Stonework Repairs – Fix open seams and cracked mortar before water enters and freezes.

5. Devegetation & Steam Cleaning – Remove moisture-retaining moss and vegetation from masonry.

6. Lightning Protection Testing – Ensure high-rise conductors are fully compliant ahead of severe weather.

Our IRATA-certified Rope Access team recently carried out essential high-level maintenance across the hospital site.

Working around a busy, critical healthcare facility requires meticulous planning. Opting for rope access over traditional scaffolding allowed us to deliver a fast, safe and efficient solution while minimising disruption to day-to-day hospital operations and patient access routes.

This approach enabled our team to reach complex high-level areas rapidly (without lengthy setup or teardown times) leaving a minimal footprint on site while delivering high-standard building care.

Coastal transport hubs face some of the harshest environments in the UK.
Relentless saltwater spray, high winds and heavy rainfall.

Because of all this, the iconic Wemyss Bay Ferry Terminal needed urgent, complex repairs to its high-level glazing, roofing, and drainage. All without disrupting live passenger travel.

Here’s how our team tackled the project:

🔍 Thermal Drone Surveys: We deployed high-resolution Radiometric Thermal Drones to pinpoint trapped moisture and hidden micro-leaks across the roof envelope with zero impact on physical structures.
🚨 Immediate Stabilisation: We executed urgent make-safe protocols to secure loose roofing elements, eliminating hazards for terminal visitors and staff.
🛠️ Specialist Glazing Refurbishment: We utilised high-level Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs) to replace perished gaskets with high-grade, marine-resistant dynamic seals along the massive glass canopy.
🌧️ Roofing & Drainage: We restored drainage capacity through deep gutter clearances and targeted natural slate repairs matching the original aesthetic.

The Result? A fully weather-tight, structurally sound building envelope delivered with zero disruption to ferry services.

That's what you get with over 40 years of expertise in difficult access, industrial cleaning, drone inspection and specialist repair under one roof.

Stunning Scottish views while restoring a stunning 16th-century Scottish castle.

Perched directly on the windward shore of Loch Fyne, Grade A-listed Dunderave Castle endures relentless Atlantic gales, driving rain, and sea spray. Managing high-level repairs on an exposed historic stronghold usually comes with massive, expensive scaffolding setups. Instead, we delivered a non-intrusive, single-source solution using our signature Inspect, Repair, Clean approach:

🔵 Inspect: Detailed aerial drone surveys pinpointed exact repair zones safely and quickly.

🔵 Repair: Cleared blocked high-level gutters, re-seated damaged roof slates, and repointed degraded masonry using heritage-compatible lime mortar.

🔵 Clean & Protect: Carried out a delicate bio-clean to remove moss and algae. After masking every window with protective film, we applied a premium, breathable hydrophobic water-seal to shield the sandstone against salt spray without trapping internal dampness.

By combining specialist high-access agility with traditional heritage restoration, we secured the castle’s watertight envelope, protected its historic fabric, and significantly reduced setup costs for the client.
