Steel Erection Rope Access Services
Think Access Ltd. provides professional steel erection rope access services for new builds, retrofit projects, and infrastructure maintenance across the UK.
As an IRATA member company, we combine rope access rigging expertise with safe, secure steel installation at height without the limitations of scaffolding, cranes, or MEWPs.
From rooftop steel platforms to bracing systems, telecom gantries, and overhead beams, our rope access specialists deliver accuracy, control, and compliance. We install and secure both primary and secondary steel components in buildings and structures where traditional methods aren’t viable.
By operating from ropes, we bypass the costs and logistics of fixed access and reduce risks in congested or restricted sites saving time and improving programme flexibility for construction managers and contractors alike.
What We Offer
We install, assemble, and maintain structural steelwork at height using rope access, ensuring safe, efficient, and cost-effective solutions for complex construction and maintenance projects.
Primary Steel Installation
Our teams position and secure beams, columns, and trusses using rope-guided hoisting systems. We ensure accurate alignment, secure bolting, and compliance with structural drawings and tolerances.
Secondary Steel Fixings
We install gantries, ladders, walkways, access rails, and parapet steel in awkward or elevated locations. Perfect for rooftop plant or high-level maintenance access.
On-Site Bolting and Welding
We conduct torque-controlled bolting, tack welding, and plate installation at height using qualified technicians and certified procedures
Protective Coatings at Height
Application of corrosion-resistant or weatherproof coatings to exposed steel surfaces before or after erection, extending structural life and visual quality.
Dismantling and Controlled Removal
We safely cut and remove redundant steel components using rope-based techniques and guide-lowering systems, with no need for disruptive machinery or public exclusion zones.

Steel Installation Services
As an IRATA member company, Think Access Ltd. combines rope access rigging expertise with secure steel installation at height, providing a safe and efficient alternative to scaffolding, cranes, or MEWPs. Steelwork at height demands a high level of precision, planning, and safety oversight. Our rope access specialists bring all of these qualities together, delivering projects with accuracy, control, and full compliance, even in the most complex or congested environments.
We install and secure both primary and secondary steel components in locations where traditional methods are not practical. Our services include rooftop steel platforms, bracing systems, telecom gantries, structural frames, and overhead beams, all installed with meticulous attention to alignment, anchorage, and load integrity. By working directly from ropes, our technicians can operate in areas where cranes cannot reach, scaffolding is too costly or time-consuming, or MEWPs are obstructed by restricted ground space. This flexibility ensures that steel installation projects can move forward without the limitations of conventional access methods.
For contractors, developers, and construction managers, the benefits of rope access steelwork are clear. Mobilisation is rapid, disruption is minimal, and the method allows for a level of programme flexibility that supports broader project delivery. In congested sites, restricted urban locations, or live operational environments, rope access is often the only viable method for steel installation. By removing the need for heavy ground-level equipment, we reduce health and safety risks, lower costs, and streamline logistics, ensuring that every project remains on schedule and within budget.
All of our steel installation projects are enhanced by Get Konnected, our proprietary mobile workforce management system. This platform provides complete transparency by offering digital RAMS, real-time workforce tracking, photographic reporting, and client-accessible compliance documentation. For construction managers, this means a clear and auditable record of every stage of the installation, giving confidence that steelwork has been carried out safely and to specification. The combination of rope access and Get Konnected provides a modern, technology-driven service that delivers accountability as well as performance.
Think Access Ltd. has earned the trust of clients across the UK by delivering steel installation services that are safe, reliable, and adaptable to challenging site conditions. Whether supporting the construction of new facilities, upgrading existing structures, or installing specialist gantries and bracing systems, we apply the same high standards of workmanship and safety oversight. Every rope access steel installation is planned in detail, carried out with precision, and completed in accordance with both IRATA requirements and UK construction regulations.
By focusing on safety, compliance, and efficiency, we enable contractors and developers to complete projects that might otherwise be delayed or complicated by access restrictions. Rope access provides the agility to work where others cannot, while Get Konnected ensures the accountability and compliance documentation needed for project assurance. Together, these strengths make Think Access Ltd. the go-to partner for rope access steel installation services nationwide.
