Common problems we fix

What we find when we inspect and audit.

These aren't one-off jobs. They're the problems we see most often, whoever put the system in.

01 · Inspection

There's a system on the roof, but no paperwork

Someone buys a building, or a facility manager takes over a portfolio. There are anchors and a static line on the roof, but no logbook, no layout plan and no record of when anything was last inspected.

Height safety equipment needs periodic inspection to stay in service, at the interval set by the manufacturer and the applicable standard. Without records there's no way to show that has happened, so the safe assumption is that it shouldn't be used until a competent person checks it.

How we fix it

  • Inspect and test the system, whoever installed it
  • Tag everything that passes
  • Rebuild the records: a layout plan and a logbook
  • Quote to fix or replace anything that fails
Request an inspection

02 · After handover

New plant went on the roof after handover

An air conditioner gets replaced with a bigger one, or solar goes on. The access that was certified at handover was designed around the old layout, so now the route to the plant crosses open sheeting, or the new unit sits closer to an unprotected edge.

Changes like these can affect whether the original system still suits the roof, so it needs reassessing against the new layout.

How we fix it

  • Assess the roof as it is now, not as it was drawn
  • Add walkways, platforms or guardrail around the new plant
  • Update the layout plan and recertify the system
Request a reassessment

03 · Compliance audit

The anchor's there, but what's it fixed to?

A rated anchor is only as strong as what it's fixed into. An anchor in the wrong purlin, too close to the edge, or with a failed seal around it can look fine from the ground and still not do its job.

These problems don't show up until someone checks the fixing, the substrate and the layout against the standard and the manufacturer's details.

How we fix it

  • Audit fixings, substrate and layout against AS/NZS 1891.4 and AS/NZS 5532
  • Report with photos, in plain English
  • Quote to bring anything non-compliant up to standard
