Subject to the type of installation and the site conditions we deploy rope access, our own truck mounted access platforms or temporary cradle systems.

High Pressure Jet Washing and Steam Cleaning

High Access Maintenance Limited are the proud owners of a DynaJet 500 one of the most powerful pressure washers currently available in the UK. The performance and results of the DynaJet 500 are truly remarkable!

Manufactured by Putzmeister, this trailer mounted unit delivers an impressive 500 bar of working pressure, and water temperatures of up to 110°C. The unit is able to operate two hoses simultaneously, working flexibly without fixed water or power supplies.

We provide highly effective cleaning solutions for large paving areas, pathways and entrance details as found in business parks, retail parks, superstores, schools, leisure centres, blocks of apartments and commercial properties.

  • Chewing Gum removal
  • Graffiti removal

  • Cleaning of cement and concrete stains from new brick work
  • Removal of atmospheric dirt and carbon dirt
  • Sanitising of industrial hygiene surfaces

Additionally, we can provide a 24-Hour response for the removal of offensive graffiti.

Rope Access

Rope access is a safe, efficient and cost effective method of carrying out all kinds of cleaning, maintenance and installation works. The ease and speed with which areas can be accessed enables competitive pricing, as compared with most other forms of high level access.

Our technicians are fully qualified and continue to attend specialist courses meeting the criteria set by the Health and Safety Executive.

When compared to cradles and access platforms, the versatile nature of Rope Access provides many advantages including:

  • Fast and easy access to structures
  • Minimal disruption to adjacent work areas and building operations
  • Rope Access has the least visual impact on building structures, and does not damage the building fabric - especially important when working on historic properties
  • Rope Access can be applied to any type of building

At High Access, rope access techniques have always been central to our service offering. Established as an access specialist service over 10 years ago, we continue to utilise rope access skills for property maintenance projects and many of our cleaning contracts.

Pest Control

We are equipped to provide a range of effective pest control and bird proofing services from clearance of bird fouling to the installation of deterrent systems. Our experienced teams are able to deliver prompt and effective solutions.

Birds fouling can create:

  • Damage to property by erosion of building fabric through direct chemical action
  • An unpleasant environment
  • Health and safety risks via disease organisms contained within bird dropping which in turn create a fertile breeding ground for insects and the potential for spreading of diseases with serious health implications such as Psittacosis; Listeria; Salmonella; E.Coli 0157

We provide thorough cleaning programmes prior to the fitting of any deterrent system in order to cleanse the surfaces with disinfectants to remove the any concealed micro-organisms.

Our approach is prevention first; we offer a range of effective measures birds including:

  • Netting systems
  • Wire systems
  • Spike systems
