The UK's Trusted In-House Experts For Commercial High-Level Glazing
Our Evolution & History
Pioneering Scaffold-Free Glazing Solutions
Access UK Ltd was formed in October 2012 by industry experts who saw a critical flaw in traditional commercial glazing: relying on scaffolding and heavy machinery was too slow, too disruptive, and far too expensive for building operators.
We set out to change the industry by combining deep architectural glazing expertise with advanced industrial rope access. In 2018, we achieved full IRATA Member Company status, proving our intent to operate at the absolute highest global safety standards. Today, we are proud to be the first-choice partner for the UK’s most prestigious brands, completing complex refurbishment projects while building occupants go about their day completely undisturbed.

Our In-House Irata Technicians
Unlike many competitors, we operate a strict "Self-Delivery" model. We do not rely on outside subcontractors for supervision. Our site staff are highly trained, fully-employed professionals holding Construction Safety Certification Scheme (CSCS) cards, alongside IRATA, PASMA, and IPAF qualifications. When you hire Sky Access, you get a dedicated Sky Access team.
ESG, Sustainability & CSR
Committed To Our
Environment
& Our Community
Environmental Sustainability (ISO 14001)
We operate an audited environmental management system. We actively partner with waste management specialists to divert waste from landfills—recently recycling 14 tonnes of old glass on a single grandstand project.
Community & Charity Support
We believe in giving back to the regions we operate in. We are proud supporters of the East Anglian Children’s Hospice (EACH), assisting with community recycling initiatives and undertaking major fundraising expeditions, such as our Directors’ 400km Tuk Tuk challenge across Sri Lanka, to support children with life-threatening conditions.
Our Accreditations
High-level and difficult-access glazing carries significant risk. That's why we place health and safety, quality management, and industry compliance at the centre of every project. Our accreditations give you independent assurance that our methods, training, and management systems have been thoroughly assessed by recognised third-party bodies.
