Pricing FAQs
Are these prices fixed or estimates?
All prices are indicative ranges based on typical Edinburgh properties. We provide fixed-price quotes after a free site survey or photo assessment. The price we quote is the price you pay — no hidden extras for access, licences or equipment.
Why is rope access cheaper than scaffolding?
Rope access eliminates scaffold hire (£1,200–£3,000+), pavement licences (£200–£500/week), pedestrian tunnels and street obstruction costs. Two technicians and a van replace a lorry-load of tubes, boards and labour. For short-duration jobs, savings of 30–50% are typical.
Do you charge for site surveys?
No. We offer free, no-obligation site surveys across Edinburgh and the Lothians. Send photos via WhatsApp or email for a remote assessment, or we will visit in person at no charge.
What factors affect the price?
The main factors are: building height and access difficulty, extent of damage, materials required (lime mortar type, stone indents, lead gauge), weather protection needs, and whether the property is listed or in a conservation area. We itemise every element in our quotes so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Do you offer maintenance programmes?
Yes. We offer annual and bi-annual maintenance contracts for property factors, housing associations and commercial landlords across Edinburgh. Programmed maintenance prevents costly emergency repairs and extends the life of your building envelope.
