Refurbishment of Leaking Atrium
The Sky Access team were approached by our client to assist with a persistent leaking atrium.
Require Emergency Glaziers For Damaged Glass At Height?
When overhead or high-level glazing fractures or shatters, the situation requires immediate expert assessment. Until the area is made safe, occupants and the public remain at risk. Our IRATA-trained rope access technicians provide specialist emergency glazing services for commercial premises, delivering rapid make-safes and clear guidance on the safest temporary measures while a permanent solution is planned.
We support clients across the UK, including emergency glazing London call-outs, and can attend outside business hours as part of a 24 hour emergency glazing response where the situation demands it. As High Level Glazing Specialists, we focus on safe access, immediate emergency glazing repairs to stabilise the damaged area, and clear guidance on the safest way to proceed.
Whilst affected glazing will usually require permanent replacement, our priority during the initial attendance is to make the area safe, minimise disruption to building occupiers, and help you understand the next steps required for a compliant, long-term solution. We then ensure the building is secure and operational before any permanent works are undertaken.
- Fully compliant with BS 6262 and Working at Height Regulations, so all make-safes and remedial works meet current standards from the moment we arrive on site.
- Comprehensive insurance-backed guarantees provided, giving you documented evidence and peace of mind that all works are supported.
- 100% in-house IRATA Level 3 supervision and technicians, with no subcontractors, so you have a single, fully accountable specialist emergency glazing company for every stage of a high-risk glazing emergency.
How Do We Access Glass At Height Safely?
Our emergency glazing teams use IRATA rope access techniques to reach defective overhead glazing quickly and safely in live commercial environments. Once in position, our experienced technicians assess the condition of the glass so we can carry out controlled commercial emergency glass repair or make-safe works without putting occupants or the public at risk.
This bespoke access methodology allows us to stabilise or remove failed units, even where traditional access is not possible, and to specify the most appropriate temporary solution for your site.
Emergency make-safe measures can include:
From Make-Safe To Permanent Replacement
Once the immediate risk has been controlled through our emergency glazing repairs and make-safe measures, our site team investigates the likely cause of the impact or failure. Where spontaneous breakage is suspected, we can collect a sample of the defective glazing and arrange laboratory analysis to assess for nickel sulphide inclusion, a known cause of sudden fracture in toughened glass.
- Immediate assessment and risk control so our experienced technicians can inspect the damaged glazing, review surrounding risks, and confirm the safest method of access in line with the Working at Height Regulations.
- Emergency make-safe measures where our team applies the agreed temporary solution, whether glazing film, controlled removal of failed glass, or temporary weatherproofing, to secure the area and protect occupants and the public.
- Cause investigation and analysis where practical, to identify the root cause of the failure, including arranging laboratory analysis if spontaneous breakage is suspected.
- Planned permanent replacement once the make-safe is complete, with a clear quotation, a defined scope of works, and a programme for the long-term glazing replacement.
This methodical approach allows clients to deal with the immediate incident safely, then move in a controlled way from temporary emergency glazing repairs to a planned, permanent glazing replacement with full visibility of cost, methodology and timescales.
