Industrial rope access (CITB qualified - IRATA certified)
Fall restraint methods are often used when accessing roofs or chimneys and are used when installing Chimney product, lightning protection or permanent fall arrest systems. We use similar methods on all contracts where we have identified a risk of falling from height. Our expert abseilers use the most up-to-date rope access equipment available (supplied by Petzl).
All of our commercial abseiling equipment is periodically inspected and holds all of the relevant certificates of conformity.

Commercial Abseilers – Installation of a Twin Wall Insulated Boiler Flue at a London hotel
During a 2019 Christmas shutdown a completely new boiler flue system was installed by Allchimneys at a Hotel in Victoria, London. 3No new gas fired condensing boilers were installed – connection to main 300mm Twin Wall Insulated flue was made with a 3-branch header.
No scaffold was allowed by main contractor as the new flue was to rise vertically within a lightwell to termination. Our IRATA certified team of chimney installers rigged safe access from roof area and install the entire 30m of insulated flue from ropes.
