Anchor Point Installation & Certification — London
Turnkey design, installation, load testing and annual recertification of compliant fall-arrest anchor systems for roofs, parapets and façades.
Compliant Anchors Unlock Every Future Visit at Height
Once a building has compliant, certified anchor points, every future job at height — window cleaning, gutter clearing, roof inspections, façade repairs — becomes simpler, cheaper and faster. Contractors can attach directly to a known-good system rather than rigging temporary anchors or pricing scaffold.
Without a compliant system, every contractor has to either install temporary anchorage or refuse the work. Both outcomes cost the building owner money and time.
Under the Work at Height Regulations 2005, the duty holder — usually the building owner or managing agent — is responsible for ensuring safe means of access. A documented, certified anchor system shifts that duty into a maintainable, auditable form.
For listed and conservation properties, anchors are designed to minimise visual impact and avoid penetration of historic fabric where possible. We routinely engineer solutions for sensitive structures.
From Single Eye-Bolts to Full Lifeline Systems
Single-Point Anchors
Eye-bolts and resin-anchored points to BS EN 795 Type A — for fall arrest at fixed working positions.
Horizontal Lifelines
Stainless cable systems to BS EN 795 Type C — continuous attachment along ridges, parapets and walkways.
Davit Arms & Sockets
For rope-access deployment over parapets and roof edges where direct anchorage above the work line is impractical.
Counter-Weighted Systems
Free-standing dead-weight anchors for roofs where penetration of the membrane is not acceptable.
Guardrails & Edge Protection
Permanent or modular collective protection where regular access requires a passive solution rather than fall arrest.
Annual Recertification
Visual + load testing of existing anchor systems with updated BS 7883 inspection certificates and a managed reminder cycle.
Design → Install → Test → Certify
Site Survey & Design
A qualified surveyor walks the roof, identifies access requirements and produces a system layout drawing.
Substrate Verification
Pull tests on representative substrate (concrete, brick, steel, timber) confirm the anchor specification before installation.
Installation
Installed by IRATA-certified technicians following the manufacturer's torque, resin and embedment specifications.
Load Test & Certify
Each point proof-loaded, photographed and certified to BS 7883. Site folder issued for the building manager and future contractors.
The Standards We Work To
BS 7883:2019
Code of practice for the design, selection, installation, use and maintenance of anchor devices for personal fall protection.
BS EN 795:2012
Performance requirements for anchor devices Types A through E. Every system we install carries product certification.
Work at Height Regs 2005
All design and use of anchor systems is documented to support the duty holder's obligations under the Regulations.
