Overhead Glazing Refurbishment
Refurbishment and Maintenance to Atrium Glazing
Our client had a variety of overhead glazing structures throughout their busy Shopping Centre site which were showing signs of age related dilapidation.
Why Sky Access For Your Glazing Maintenance Requirements?
Sky Access Glazing deliver safe, cost-effective facade maintenance and high level maintenance for atria, rooflights, canopy systems, glazed façades, curtain walling, and other overhead glazed structures on live commercial sites. Our tailored, preventative maintenance packages work with your building and its constraints.
Many of the glazing refurbishment and remedial works projects we survey could have been avoided with an earlier planned maintenance regime. By implementing the right servicing programme, a glazing system's lifespan extends significantly, reducing future repair and replacement costs while maintaining a safe, compliant building envelope.
- We work to recognised standards: all glazing maintenance is fully compliant with BS 6262 and the Working at Height Regulations.
- We stand behind our work with comprehensive insurance-backed guarantees, giving you documented peace of mind at every stage.
- We use only our own in-house rope access specialists with 100% IRATA Level 3 supervision and no subcontractors, so you know exactly who is on your façade and how every task is being controlled.
How We Put Together A Glazing Maintenance Package?
No two buildings are alike. The right maintenance programme for your glazing depends on the size, age, location, and system type of the installation. We treat every project individually, working with you to build a tailored high level maintenance plan that fits your atrium, rooflight, canopy, façade, or curtain walling and the operational demands of your building.
For difficult-access and overhead glazing, we begin by understanding the current condition of the system and how we can reach it safely and efficiently. Where O+M information exists, we review it. Where it doesn't, we investigate and research to ensure compatibility before recommending any works.
This process generally involves:
Our bespoke glazing maintenance programmes identify potential issues at an early stage, support your health and safety compliance, and reduce the risk of unexpected failures or disruption to your operations. At every stage, our experienced technicians document their findings, giving you a clear record and genuine peace of mind.
What Can A Maintenance Package Include?
Glazing maintenance programmes can incorporate a wide range of ongoing services including torque testing of fixings, component replacement or upgrades, seal servicing and inspection of vulnerable system details. Each package is designed to keep the system correctly serviced and reduce future health and safety concerns by identifying issues early.
- Routine Inspection: Regular checks to identify failed seals, loose fixings, damaged components and early signs of water ingress.
- Targeted Servicing: Seal services, torque testing, gasket checks and component replacement or upgrades where required.
- Flexible Delivery: Out-of-hours working or call-out support can be provided where site operations require a more flexible approach.
- Rolling Water Ingress Warranty: Packages can include a year-round rolling warranty against water ingress, subject to individual terms and conditions.
By signing up to an annual maintenance package, clients can also benefit from discounted rates on other maintenance works, helping keep glazing systems safe, serviceable and cost-effective over the long term.
