GLRE are UK leaders in rope access glazing, a field requiring both rope access proficiency and specialised expertise in complex glazing projects. Our services extend beyond typical rope access maintenance tasks, addressing unique challenges such as handling large glazed units, utilising advanced lifting techniques, and resealing intricate glazing systems, including those of historical importance.
With increasingly complex structures, the ever-increasing use of glass and the access challenges associated with these, rope access is now generally recognised as a safe, effective and widely used method of maintenance and repair access. As a result, rope access contractors are common and easy to find.
Very few of these, however, have dedicated their experience to specialist glazing, and where any rope access contractor is able to clean windows, install pigeon spikes or straighten lightening conductors, many are uncomfortable working with huge glazed units, large cranes and lifting techniques, or re-sealing complex, unusual or period glazing systems. This is what we do, and have always done.
GLRE is the best, most experienced national contractor when it comes to rope access high-level glazing.
Our dedicated rope access department tackles the most challenging glass replacements and glazing repairs at height, including out-sized and bespoke glazed unit replacement, guaranteed leak resolution, cladding and glazing component replacement and all associated repairs and maintenance.
Our in-house, experienced Level 3 IRATA rope access supervisors have been on the team at GLRE for many years and are able to design, risk assess and implement multi-line fall restraint systems, providing solutions to the most challenging access situations. This includes the provision of safe working access to unusual glazed structures and multi-facetted glazed roofs where others often struggle, as well as standard vertical abseil projects and internal and confined-working jobs such as repairs to glazed lift shafts.

BS 7985 provides the code of practice for rope access, emphasising employer and employee responsibilities for safe working at height. Adhering to this standard is crucial for ensuring the safety and compliance of all rope access services.
