About
Who We Are
Tyne Rope Access is a North East based industrial rope access and building maintenance company, providing safe, scaffold-free access solutions across the UK, Ireland, and offshore in the North Sea. From bird control and industrial coatings to emergency repairs in some genuinely challenging locations, we focus on getting the job done safely, on time, and to specification.
Our team is led by supervisors holding Level 3 IRATA qualifications, with all technicians trained and assessed by the Industrial Rope Access Trade Association. Every member of our team is a CSCS card holder, and our Level 3 supervisors are also trained in First Aid.
We're not just about the method - we're about the result. Whether that's a building free of pest birds, a silo repainted to specification, or emergency works completed safely under real time pressure, that's what our clients are actually paying for.
History
Tyne Rope Access was founded in North Shields, bringing IRATA-certified rope access services to building maintenance, bird control, and industrial clients across the North East.
Our work grew to cover projects across the wider UK, Ireland, and offshore support vessels - including emergency and confined space works in demanding environments such as ballast tanks.
Marking 10 years in business, we relaunched with a renewed focus on the outcomes that matter most to our clients - safe access, real results, and long-term partnerships.
Mission & Vision
We believe access shouldn't be the hardest part of the job. Rope access lets us reach the places others can't, without the cost, time, or disruption of scaffolding - so our clients can focus on what the work achieves, not how difficult it was to get there.
To be the North East's most trusted name in industrial rope access - known not for the height we work at, but for the quality and reliability of the work we deliver, from local building maintenance to offshore emergency repairs.
To provide safe, IRATA-certified access solutions that save our clients time and money, minimise disruption to their sites, and consistently deliver results they can rely on - job after job.
