Maintaining the exterior of a high-rise commercial or strata building presents unique challenges. Weather exposure, pollution, and time contribute to wear and tear, making regular maintenance essential. For buildings with complex architecture or height restrictions, traditional painting methods like scaffolding and boom lifts are not always viable solutions.
Rope Access Painting: An Effective Alternative
Rope access painting is a modern, cost-effective method that allows trained professionals to work at height using harnesses and rope systems. It's becoming an increasingly preferred option among commercial property and strata managers.
At Avello, we specialise in rope access painting, delivering safe, efficient, and high-quality outcomes across diverse project scopes.
What Is Rope Access Painting?
This method enables painters to access elevated and tight areas without relying on traditional infrastructure. Technicians descend from the roof using secure rope systems, completing work with minimal disruption to building occupants.
Why Rope Access is More Cost-Effective
- Eliminates the need for scaffolding or heavy machinery.
- Requires less setup and teardown time.
- Reduces labour hours through improved accessibility.
- Accelerates project timelines, lowering overall costs.
Commitment to Safety
Our team members hold IRATA certification and receive ongoing training in height safety and emergency procedures. All equipment used is regularly maintained, and each project includes site-specific risk assessments in accordance with WorkSafe standards.
Quality and Longevity
Rope access allows painters to reach detailed areas directly, leading to a more precise and uniform finish. We use high-performance coatings designed for durability:
- UV-resistant to prevent fading
- Anti-mould and anti-pollution
- Lifespan of 7–10 years with appropriate maintenance
Ideal Applications for Rope Access
- High-rise office towers
- Multi-story residential buildings
- Architecturally complex structures
- Narrow or obstructed locations
Minimised Disruption to Occupants
Rope access eliminates many of the inconveniences associated with scaffolding:
- No blocked access points
- Quiet operation with minimal equipment
- Flexible scheduling, including outside business hours
Environmentally Responsible Practices
We are committed to sustainable operations:
- Use of low-VOC and water-based paints
- Participation in the Paintback® recycling program
- Collection systems to prevent paint runoff and pollution
Maintenance and Aftercare
Our services extend beyond painting:
- Scheduled inspections and touch-up work
- Optional anti-graffiti coatings
- Warranties included with all projects
