Why rope access suits heritage buildings

Scaffolding has to be tied into the building, which often means drilling into historic masonry. It also needs permits, obscures the building for months, and costs a lot for small repairs. Rope access rigs from existing structure or non-invasive anchors, gives close-up access to every elevation, and leaves when the work is done.
