SOHO, U.K. - s4story -- GB Specialist Access Solutions, a specialist provider of industrial rope access and height safety systems, has completed a critical façade integrity inspection at a high-value commercial property in Golden Square, London.

While traditional access methods often rely on heavy scaffolding or mechanical platforms, this project was executed using IRATA-certified rope access. This approach allowed for a rapid, low-impact deployment in the heart of the West End, providing a precision-led alternative to intrusive street-level equipment.

Technical Inspection & Compliance

The core of the operation involved a specialist "Tap Test" diagnostic across the building's brick elevations. GB Specialist Access technicians performed a manual tactile survey to identify hidden voids, masonry delamination, and structural instabilities—issues that are frequently missed by drone surveys or long-range visual inspections.
