Appointed by the property management team, ProAltus delivered a comprehensive roof-access improvement package at a multi-level commercial building in London NW5, replacing legacy structures and bringing the site up to full modern safety standards.

With multiple roof elevations, exposed edges and a combination of outdated ladders and deteriorated timber steps, a fully engineered solution was required to provide safe, long-term access for routine maintenance. ProAltus designed and installed a permanent system incorporating BS 4211-compliant fixed ladders, non-penetrative guardrails, and improved transition points between levels.

The works included removal of unsafe timber assemblies, installation of new galvanised steel ladders, and the addition of permanent handrailing designed in accordance with BS EN 14122-3 and BS 13700. All elements were engineered to provide reliable access while preserving the integrity of the existing roof structures.

All works were delivered in accordance with the Work at Height Regulations 2005 and relevant British Standards, with experienced technicians ensuring safe, efficient installation throughout.

The project was completed on programme and without incident, providing a durable, compliant and long-term access solution for ongoing building maintenance.
