Why Leicester Abseiling

A local Leicestershire team with national-contractor standards

Based in Leicestershire

Our office is in Market Harborough, so we're on site quickly anywhere in the county — and we're back just as quickly when something needs a second look.

Compliance you can file

Every job comes with RAMS, a written rescue plan, and — for man safe testing — dated certificates and a photographic report your insurer and duty holder will accept.

Less cost, less disruption

No scaffold, no hoarding, no road closure. Most facade work is completed in days rather than weeks, with tenants and customers barely noticing we're there.

Trusted & accredited

Approved standards you can rely on

Common questions

Rope access in Leicestershire — your questions answered

Do you cover the whole of Leicestershire?

Yes. We work across Leicester city centre and the whole of Leicestershire, including Loughborough, Market Harborough, Hinckley, Melton Mowbray, Coalville, Oadby, Wigston, Lutterworth and Ashby-de-la-Zouch. Our office is in Market Harborough, so most Leicestershire sites are within an hour.

How often should a man safe system be tested?

Permanent fall arrest and man safe systems must be inspected by a competent person at least every 12 months under the Work at Height Regulations 2005, to BS 7883:2019, and re-certified after any fall arrest event. We issue a dated certificate and photographic report for every system tested.

Is rope access cheaper than scaffolding or a cherry picker?

Usually, yes. Rope access needs no build time, no road closures and no hire periods, so a facade job that takes weeks to scaffold can often be completed by an abseiling team in days, with far less disruption to the building's occupants.

Are your rope access technicians IRATA qualified and insured?

Yes. All work is carried out by IRATA-qualified rope access technicians working to the IRATA International Code of Practice, with full public and employers' liability insurance, RAMS issued before every job and a written rescue plan on site.
