Confined Space Rescue & Entry
High-risk confined space entry, standby rescue teams and rescue cover for tanks, shafts, culverts, voids and chambers across Manchester and the UK.
Confined space rescue cover and entry
Confined spaces such as tanks, shafts, culverts, manholes, lift pits and voids can turn dangerous quickly, through low oxygen, toxic gas or difficult access. Under the Confined Spaces Regulations 1997, anyone sending people into one needs a safe system of work and a suitable rescue plan in place before entry.
Rope Access Maintenance UK provides confined space rescue cover and confined space entry for contractors, facilities teams, utilities and industrial sites. Our team is trained to high-risk confined space with rescue and IRATA certified, so we can both carry out work inside the space and provide a dedicated standby rescue team while others work.
We’re based in Ashton-under-Lyne, near Manchester, and provide confined space rescue across the North West and the rest of the UK.

Why Choose us
Why Use Rope Access
Rope access eliminates the need for expensive scaffolding, cranes, or lifts. By utilizing highly trained technicians who can access hard-to-reach areas quickly and efficiently, businesses can save significantly on both time and costs associated with traditional access methods.
Rope access is one of the safest methods for working at heights when conducted by trained professionals. Our IRATA-certified technicians adhere to strict safety protocols, ensuring that every project is executed with the utmost care, minimizing the risk of accidents and injuries.
Rope access allows for rapid deployment and immediate commencement of work. With minimal setup time compared to scaffolding, our technicians can start the job sooner, reducing downtime and ensuring your project is completed as quickly as possible.
Rope access can be used for a wide range of services, including window cleaning, maintenance, inspections, and repairs on various structures. This versatility allows us to tailor our services to meet your specific needs, regardless of the complexity of the job or the type of building involved.
